Lot 239: AR Mick Rock (British, b. 1948): Debbie Harry print,

Mick Rock (British, b. 1948): Debbie Harry print,
a 1990s colour dye transfer photographic print on heavy art resin board, signed by the photographer in black marker by the photographer, numbered 3/95 and 9/75, professionally mounted and framed, image 19 1/2in x 23 1/4in (49.5cm x 59cm), overall 27 1/2in x 31 1/2in (69.8cm x 80cm)

This has been cited by the photographer as one of his all-time favourite images. It was originally commissioned for the cover of 'Viva' magazine in 1979 which actually folded before publication. The image was therefore first seen gracing the cover of 'Penthouse' in 1980. Debbie was apparently amused by the irony of appearing in a men's magazine dressed to the neck in black.Provenance:The Mark Jay Collection. Lots 172-232.
