Photograph

by Paolo Roversi

An unsigned and unmarked photograph printed on glossy paper with white borders (reflections in some of my photos try to convey the surface quality). 16 x 20 inches including borders, image 10 x 13 inches. Annotations in pencil on reverse identify the photograph as a printer's proof. Unframed. Pristine image with an almost painterly surface texture.

This photograph was purchased from Box Studios, NYC, the company run by Pascal Dangin, who designed and printed Roversi's photographs and published several of his books under the label Steidl Dangin. Life Time magazine described Dangin as "the world's most sought-after photo retoucher" and he was featured in a laudatory New Yorker profile in 2008. This photograph was in the company's inventory.
