Item Overview

Description

9" x 12 ½" sepia gelatin print, printed in 2003 for an exhibition in Florence Italy. Lech, born in Poland, now lives in Jersey City. Soon after I got to know him, I discovered that another friend, John Wood, poet, author of several books on daguerreotypes and other photography subjects, one of the editiors of "21. The Journal of Contemporary Photography," had written a beautiful long article on Lech's photographs. It begins "I do not think anyone could look at a photograph by ... Lech and not immediately be struck by its ghostly beauty, its brilliant artistry and craftsmanship, and finally its genius." The entire article can be found here: Lech will be exhibiting additional photographs during our auction preview in NYC. Lech makes each print in his studio, using the highest quality paper. Because of his unique process of sepia toning, each print from a negative is a "one of a kind print."

Items are carefully described with full attention to authenticity and condition. We urge you to examine the material directly, if possible, or if not, to ask questions about matters that concern you (but not later than 11:00 A.M. on the day of the auction.)

If you have a reasonable basis for doubting the authenticity or other related matters, return the item to us within 5 days of receipt, in the exact condition it was sent, and if we find your explanation valid we will refund the purchase price and premium, but not the shipping charges.
