RARE MOIRE ENCASED PORTFOLIO OF EDIE SEDGWICK PHOTOGRAPHS BY NAT FINKELSTEIN c. 1965 – 1966
Nat Finkelstein was a photographer in Andy Warhol’s Factory for three years
Within this portfolio are contained four original chromogenic photographs from 1965 – 1966 mounted between dibond aluminum and UV acrylic, signed and dated by Nat Finkelstein, and labeled HC 2/3 (2 from an edition of 3 Hors Commerce)
The printing is by Laumont Editions, the printer for artists such as Nan Goldin, Stephen Shore, and Joel Sternfeld
The images are so intimate that you feel as though you are being let in on a secret
with colors very representative of the time
a quality that is daunting
and with the physical weight of the aluminum combined with the high gloss of the acrylic, and the moire covered case with silver embossed lettering, you’ll realize you’ve never seen anything like this. A gem-like portfolio in a jewel case.

Graffiti artist, Lane Coggin, credits Basquiat as a powerful model to paint what you feel.
$900
Raised in an offbeat atmosphere in Chelsea, his mother an abstract expressionist and father a commercial photographer, Lane spent most of his time on the urban streets graffiti writing.
$900 SOLD
A creative seriousness developed with the use of one of his first big tags as the background for the Strikers’ album cover.
$1000
After carrying on the family lineage and studying under close family friend, New York School abstract expressionist, Knox Martin, he eventually moved back to his roots as a graffiti artist comprising his street edgy sense of color and form with muted influences of Hofmann, Pollock, Krasner and de Kooning.
$900
With this dichotomy, Lane successfully weaves NY Street with NY School, intertwining movements are expressively placed to form a visual musicality that is often associated with the harmonies of Pollock.
$1800
