Lot Description
LEE FRIEDLANDER (AMERICAN, B. 1934) THREE PRINTS FROM "CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME IN JAPAN"
1984–1986. Each signed and editioned 7/50 in pencil on recto, dated in pencil, and stamped on verso. Matted photogravure prints.
Image: 8 1/2 x 12 3/4 in. (21.6 x 32.4cm).
Sheet: 15 x 20 1/4 in. (38.1 x 51.4cm).
First published as a portfolio of 25 photogravures (Haywire Press, 1986) and printed by Thomas Palmer. Friedlander's chaotically composed images were radical because they were black-and-white—few, if any, contemporary photographers had captured Japan's famous cherry blossoms in anything but full color.
