Description from the seller
Ruth Bernhard (1905–2006) was an American photographer, born in Berlin, Germany, and a specialist in nude and still-life photography. She was a major photographer of the 20th century, and her works are held in the finest museums around the world. She regularly exhibited in Japan, especially at the MINN Gallery in Tokyo, a well-known venue for contemporary photography in the 1980s and 1990s.
The print titled *In the Box—Vertical* is a gelatin silver print, taken in 1962.
Ruth Bernhard signed it in pencil at the bottom and also signed, dated, and titled it by hand in pencil on the back. She added “SP” in the top right corner (Special Print, presumably for the exhibition at the MINN Gallery from March 31 to April 28, 1990). All the information is confirmed on the back by the MINN Gallery tape, which gives the title, printing process, date, artist, print dimensions, and exhibition card.
The print measures 35 × 21.5 cm and is mounted and framed (black aluminum, 61.5 × 51.5 cm); it has no glass, as issued.
It is protected in its original cardboard packaging, with two pieces of tape bearing the title, printing process, date, and MINN Gallery, as well as the framer’s tape. The cardboard has some dents and a crease, but is generally in very good condition.
The print is in excellent condition.
