About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1979. Vintage oversize photograph of musician Lou Reed, used as the album photo design for the front cover of his critically acclaimed 1979 solo album, "The Bells."
The resulting album design features a significantly cropped version of this original image, and as a result the photograph on offer has a good deal more visual information at all four borders.
Garry Gross, who name is penciled on the verso of the mounting board, was a prominent fashion photographer best known for his controversial 1975 photographs of a nude ten-year-old Brooke Shields, later appropriated by artist Richard Prince for his 1983 series "Spiritual America."
15.25 x 15.5 inch image printed on 16 x 20 inch photographic paper. Print mounted on a 20 x 24 inch illustration board as originally used, with a 22 x 24 x 8 inch ply archival mat. Photograph with a diagonal crease to the far top right corner (image not affected), else Near Fine.
