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.
