      • CHARLES RIVERS (1904 - 1993), 'Bolter Up - Self Portrait. Empire State Building 1930". Gelatin silver print
        Nov. 17, 2017

        Est: $900 - $1,500

A typed label on the verso gives the title, date, and has his ink signature. Printed later. Rivers was a laborer, Union organizer and social activist who made photographs in connection with his activities. He worked on the construction of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, and made photographs of himself and other workers. He was not aware at the time of Lewis Hine's photographs, but later he admired Hine for his social activism that mirrored his own. In contrast to Hine, Rivers made these photographs while working as a machinist. He must have had someone assist with this portrait. His archives are held in the Tamiment Library at NYU, as well as the Smithsonian Institution and the Amon Carter Museum. This comes from a member of his family, as do the other photographs by him in the auction. [4]
