The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC just acquired four more photos by the amazing Lida Moser (may she rest in peace). Lida's work is already in the collection of the NPG as well as the National Portrait Galleries of Britain, Canada and Scotland! We miss her and love her and are honored to run her estate.
They've acquired these photos:
Look at the photo and see the clear and empty surroundings around Siskind, the mud, the water, the stream??? Does anyone know where in Central Park that would have been in 1949?
By the way, that photo is in the permanent collection of many museums, including 3-4 "local" museums here in the DMV.
One day I will tell the story of the Judy Collins shoot... or even better, the Charlie Mingus shoot.
