JOSEF SUDEK | Rose in Glass Beaker

framed, 1950s (Josef Sudek: Still Lifes, p. 6)

Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York

This print, with a semi-matte surface, is in generally excellent condition. There is a small area of emulsion peeling at the upper left corner and a possible clamp impression at the lower left corner. In raking light, a few extremely faint creases and the photographer's original retouching are visible. 'P8611022' is written on the reverse in an unidentified hand in pencil. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
