    Mar. 13, 2022

    DAWOUD BEY - Untitled - Portrait in Four Panels

    Est: $3,000 - $4,500

    DAWOUD BEY (American, 1955-) - Untitled - Portrait in Four Panels. Set of four Polaroid prints on irregularly cut paper, possibly internal dye diffusion transfer prints. 52 x 44 inches (arrangment of 4 images), 58 x 47 inches (papers). Each panel has a central image which is 24 x 20 inches, plus the polaroid chemical areas. Unsigned. In the early 90, working with a large Polaroid camera, Dawoud Bey often signed on a label accompanying the work, but this piece has no accompanying label. This background and chair can be found in other Dawoud Bey portraits in this style and format. For instance, the work Kenosha II, from 1996, in collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, has this chair, this background, a similar pose and arrangement, identical lighting and matching chemical markings surrounding the main images.

    Est: $5,000 - $7,000

    Dawoud Bey b. 1953 A Woman With Hanging Overalls 1978 Carbon pigment prints on acid free Hanhemühle Rag paper 6-3/8 x 9-1/2 inches (image) 20 x 16 inches (sheet) signed, dated, and numbered 1/15 verso Photographs from the Harlem USA portfolio, 2005 Carbon pigment prints on acid free Hanhemühle Rag paper printed by Black Point Editions, Chicago, 2005, from photographer's original negatives and vintage prints. Bey grew up in Queens, NY and went to the Benjamin Cardozo High School. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in the late 1970s, before earning his BFA in photography at Empire State College, and an MFA from Yale University in 1993. Bey's earliest images, in the style of street photography, documented the day-to-day life of the people living in Harlem (Harlem USA , 1975-1979). He exhibited them at the Studio Museum in Harlem at the completion of the project (in 2012, the Art Institute of Chicago mounted an exhibit of the photos and added several that had not been included in the first showing). Bey's style of documentary photography develops a close relationship with the subject—frequently young people, because Bey believes the look and behavior of the young people of a particular neighborhood reveals much about the overall vibe of a place. He has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, High Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art among others. He is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts , and is currently a Professor of Art at Columbia College in Chicago (since 1998).

Bey grew up in Queens, NY and went to the Benjamin Cardozo High School. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in the late 1970s, before earning his BFA in photography at Empire State College, and an MFA from Yale University in 1993. Bey’s earliest images, in the style of street photography, documented the day-to-day life of the people living in Harlem (Harlem USA , 1975-1979). He exhibited them at the Studio Museum in Harlem at the completion of the project (in 2012, the Art Institute of Chicago mounted an exhibit of the photos and added several that had not been included in the first showing). Bey’s style of documentary photography develops a close relationship with the subject—frequently young people, because Bey believes the look and behavior of the young people of a particular neighborhood reveals much about the overall vibe of a place. He has exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, High Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art among others. He is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts , and is currently a Professor of Art at Columbia College in Chicago (since 1998).

    Est: $5,000 - $7,000

    DAWOUD BEY (1953 - ) Set of five silver prints from Street Portrait series. Each 311x241 mm; 12 1/4x9 1/2 inches. Each titled and dated 1988 in pencil, verso. With one additionally signed and dated 1990 in pencil, verso. Includes: A Girl With School Metals * Joana * One of the Girls From Next Door * A Man Wearing an Adami Baseball Cap * Poppye. In 1988, Dawoud Bey began the Street Portrait series, making portraits in the Brooklyn neighborhood where he lived at the time. Using Polaroid Type P/N film, he was able to give an instant print to the subjects while keeping the instant negatives, which he would use later to make exhibition prints. Unlike his Harlem, USA photographs, these pictures are more directed and posed. It was Bey's intention to allow the subjects of the Street Portrait photographs to direct their gaze at the camera, and by extension, the viewer.
