The print was issued in an un-numbered Limited Edition (limited to the number of prints purchased during the 7 days in which the sale was open to the public). It is sure to become a highly collectible photograph given the provenance linking it directly to the Magnum Photos collective and to the photographer.
Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print:
Chile. 1987.
“On my right wrist is a small tattoo: a red balloon. Why? It's in honor of the '50s French classic short film The Red Balloon. Saw it when I was a kid. Watched it last week. The last scene has always been burned into the back of my brain. When I saw this boy in Santiago, Chile, that ultimate image of freedom popped into my head. There are all kinds of freedom. Creative freedom being one of the most rewarding.”
— David Alan Harvey
The first photo is the image Magnum used during their sale, the second and third photos are of the actual print. I photographed the print through its protective sleeve which may have resulted in some glare.
