About the Item

“My kids went to Steiner School, on 79th, between 5th and Madison. We often visited the galleries. I borrowed furniture, vases, and paintings from the dealers for my pictures – they all trusted me. We were considered friends. It was as simple as taking the Jean Arp sculpture (click here) in a cab, and returning it after the shoot. All of these objects in my photographs would cost a fortune to rent now! Same with locations. Those were the best of times! Amazing objects to document and learn from.” -Sheila Metzner Printed on Fresson Print
