Elliott Erwitt Fifth Avenue New York 1947 Print

About the Item

In over five decades of photography Elliott Erwitt (b.1928) has never lost his characteristic intrigue at the curiosities of life. His unique ability to capture beauty in the mundane as well as the famous, to find the commonplace in the exceptional and vice versa. Fifth Avenue captures the chaos of Erwitt's native city with the late afternoon sun glinting on the bonnets of traffic. One of the leading photographers of his generation, Elliott Erwitt (b.1928) has been taking pictures since the late 1940s. A member of the prestigious Magnum agency since 1954, he has photographed all-over the world and his images have been the subject of many books and exhibitions. Containing over 500 pictures, over half of which have never been published before, Elliott Erwitt Snaps is a unique and comprehensive survey of his work. From famous images such as Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon arguing in Moscow in 1959 and Marilyn Monroe with the cast of the movie The Misfits, to his many more personal images of places, things, people and animals, Erwitt's unmistakable, often witty, style gives us a snapshot of the famous and the ordinary, the strange and the mundane over a period of more than half a century, through the lens of one of the period's finest image-makers. This Collector’s Edition, designed specially for Phaidon Press, comprises a special edition of the book that is beautifully bound, individually signed and numbered, and presented in a custom-made box together with an original print that is signed and numbered by Elliott Erwitt. Specifications: Silver gelatin print. Sheet size: 254 x 203 mm (10 x 8 inches). Image size: 200 x 130 mm (7 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches). Box: 320 x 244 mm (12 5/8 x 9 5/8 inches). Printed in 2001 in an edition of 100 plus 5 artist's proofs. All copies are signed and numbered by Elliott Erwitt.
