Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Twelve dye-transfer prints, all mounted by the artist, [Santa Fe, New Mexico: Privately published, 1975], ink signed and numbered 42 from the edition of 110 on the colophon, each numbered in ink with the photographer's "Portfolio II (Iceland)" stamp to mount verso, presented in original folio-size and blue cloth-covered portfolio.

Image size 8 1/8 x 10 5/8 in.; Mount size 20 x 15 in.; Portfolio dimensions 20 3/4 x 15 3/4 in.

Complete versions of this stunning portfolio are quite rare. A set of all twelve photographs within their original case has not been offered at auction since 2018.

Photographs are sharp, vibrant, and in very good condition (the first with minute edge nick); some general age to portfolio and mounts, including toning, few small spots/stains, and several minor edge creases.
