Catalogue Note
While Weston recorded only two prints of ‘58 V’ in his negative log, Conger locates 6 prints in these institutional collections: Center for Creative Photography, Tucson; Art Institute of Chicago; The Huntington Library, San Marino; Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois; University of California, Los Angeles; and the University of California, Santa Cruz, this last a Project Print. Prints from this series rarely appear at auction, and at the time of this writing it is believed that only one print of ‘58 V’ has previously been offered.
