Born in the Bronx, Garry Winogrand studied at Columbia University and the New School of Social Research in New York. He worked in Manhattan, known primarily as a street photographer of daily life in postwar America. He earned three Guggenheim Fellowships altogether, and used the first one to travel for four months to fourteen states, documenting America during the pivotal time of the Vietnam War, and social and political upheaval. These images were shown at the 1967 exhibition
New Documents at the Museum of Modern Art. The act of taking pictures was far more fulfilling to Winogrand than making prints or editing for books and exhibitions. Dying suddenly at the age of 56, he left behind unprinted proof sheets and approximately 6,600 rolls of film which were developed after his death. A representation of this work was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2014 in a retrospective exhibition.
Excellent condition; few very negligible creases to sheet corners and two tiny margin spots.
