B. ALTMAN OLD NYC DISPLAY WINDOW PHOTOGRAPH FASHION COUTURE MID CENTURY SURREAL
Item History & Price
DESCRIPTION: Unusual and stunning, vintage circa late-1940s original gelatin silver glossy 10" x 8" photograph capturing a B. ALTMAN CO. display window at night. Taken by designer and photographer, NICK MALAN, who specialized in window displays and interiors. The photographer captured a certain aspect of Mid Cenury New York as no one else did, and converted the display into a kind of Surreal installation artwork. The lifestyle suggested by this photo has for the most part vanished forever, ...and this is quite likely the only print of this image in existence.
