About the Item

Ted Williams Dr. Martin Luther King, 1964 (printed 2020) Silver gelatin print 20 x 24 inches Estate stamped and numbered edition of 25 with certificate of authenticity Dr. Martin Luther King makes a speech at the ‘Illinois Rally for Civil Rights’ at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL, US, June 21, 1964. The same day of the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ted Williams (1925-2009) first heard jazz on the radio as a youngster in the 1930s in Wichita, Kansas. The sounds of Earl Hines, Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway broadcast from Chicago's legendary Grand Terrace Ballroom inspired him and in the late 1940s, Williams merged his love of music and photography and moved to Chicago where he captured unguarded photographic studies of some of the era's greatest jazz musicians. His work appeared in major international publications including Time, Newsweek, Look, Playboy and Ebony. His coverage of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival landed him a spectacular 21-page layout in Down Beat magazine. Williams was active on the jazz scene from the late 1940s until the late 1970s. He photographed many of the greats in jazz, including Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong. Williams’ historic archive runs to more than 100,000 images and comprises perhaps the most intimate and complete collection of Jazz’s greatest musicians at work, rest and play. ALL PRINTS PRINTED FROM A DIGITAL SCAN OF THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE AND PRINTED ON ARCHIVAL PAPER. THEY ARE ESTATE-STAMPED, AUTHORIZED AND NUMBERED ON REVERSE IN LIMITED EDITIONS OF 25 PER SIZE.
