Gelatin silver print, printed in 2012 for Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo on double-weight semi-matte paper 61 x 51 cm, in perfect condition. Mounted in original black wooden Chanel frame 79 x 61.2 cm. Signed by the photographer in ink in the lower margin right. LITERATURE Elliott Erwitt's Paris, Kempen: teNeues 2010, p. 154.

Elliott Erwitt's masterful snapshots are multi-layered visual commentaries on the human condition. The print was made on the occasion of his solo exhibition "Paris Sera Toujours Paris" in Tokyo. The show, whose title quotes a chanson by Maurice Chevalier, drew an essence of Erwitt's best shots from the Seine metropolis. It was here that he had been born to Russian-Jewish parents. At the age of eleven, Erwitt had to immigrate to the USA, where he began taking photographs and became a full member of Magnum in 1953.

明胶银盐照片,2012年为东京香奈儿Nexus Hall展览在双重重量半哑光纸上印制,尺寸61 x 51 cm,状况完美。装裱在原装黑色木质香奈儿相框中,尺寸79 x 61.2 cm。摄影师在下边缘右侧用墨水签名。文献:《Elliott Erwitt's Paris》,Kempen:teNeues 2010,第154页。Elliott Erwitt的杰出快照是对人类状况的多层次视觉评论。这张照片是为他在东京举办的个人展览“巴黎永远是巴黎”而制作的。展览标题引用了Maurice Chevalier的一首香颂,展现了Erwitt在塞纳河大都会拍摄的最佳作品精华。他出生于俄罗斯犹太裔父母家庭,十一岁时移民美国,在那里开始拍摄照片,并于1953年成为马格南图片社的正式成员。
