About the Item

Cibachrome print (Edition of 25) Signed and numbered, verso This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Price includes matting and framing. American photographer David Levinthal re-stages historical events using toy figures, play sets, and other miniatures. “Ever since I began working with toys,” the artist explains, “I have been intrigued with the idea that these seemingly benign objects could take on such incredible power and personality simply by the way they were photographed.” Charles Hagen of The New York Times adds, "What distinguishes Mr. Levinthal's work is his interest in emotionally charged historical material. But the real force of his images comes not from his choice of subjects but from the way he tells their stories." Levinthal is the co-author, with Garry Trudeau, of "Hitler Moves East," originally published in 1977. Dark Light, a ten year survey exhibition of his work, was organized in 1994 by The Photographers' Gallery in London, and traveled throughout the United Kingdom. In 1997 the International Center of Photography in New York City presented the first retrospective “David Levinthal work from 1977 to 1996”. Levinthal has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work is included in numerous museum collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum, and The Menil Collection.
