Lot Details

Lot 30
CALLAHAN, HARRY (1912-1999) [Torn Sign, Detroit],

"Harry Callahan," and signed again in ink ("H. Callahan") on verso. No defects noted in raking light. Some fluorescence noted. Framed.
Taken with Callahan's 8-by-10-inch view camera, and rendered as a contact print, this is some of Callahan's earliest work in abstraction, influenced by a visit to a Stuart Davis retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. With Pace Macgill Gallery, with their label on the back board.
