      Deborah Luster (American/Louisiana, b. 1951)

      Est: $1,200 - $1,800

      Deborah Luster (American/Louisiana, b. 1951), "One Big Self: Prisoners of Louisiana Series", 1999-2000, 6 silver emulsion on prepared aluminum plates, 5 signed, sitter's information, dated and inscribed en verso, each 5 in. x 4 in., unframed, original black portfolio box; accompanied by Luster, Deborah and C.D Wright. The Tenth Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize. Durham, NC: The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, 2001. (8 pcs.) Note: In the lot offered here, Deborah Luster’s photographs of prisoners are printed on metal in the manner of tintypes, durable snapshots popularized in the 1860s and 1870s. Luster plays with the concept of “the gaze,” instructing her subjects to bring personal objects and pose however they wish - defining themselves as individuals within a system that arguably robs them of their identity and agency. While the viewer observes each photo, the subject in turn stares back. “I wanted the photos to be handled by viewers and to suggest the history of the penal system…touching the faces of Louisiana’s “invisible” population.” Ref.: Luster, Deborah, and C.D. Wright. The Tenth Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize. Durham: Center for Documentary Studies, 2001, pp. 6-8.
