Irving Penn

Woman in Moroccan Palace

IRVING PENN

There are days I just feel so gloriously lucky, like today..... 
At any time I want, I can take a trip to Manhattan and see some of the best Art in the world. 
This is a photograph Irving Penn took of his wife Lisa Fonssagrives (Swedish) in 1951.
Girls, she was 40 years when this picture was taken... 
It is for sale at the Hasted Hunt Kraeutler Gallery in Chelsea!

  3. Gorgeous photo. I understand from later media this picture (or at least one picture of his wife, perhaps I shouldn't be so quick to assume it is this one) went for $54,000.00.
