The common theme in this collection of works is the artist's transformation of a photographic print into a singular, unique artwork through his/her annotation or inscription. These objects were used as gifts, cards, letters and invitations with a specific purpose. They offer a bit of history; they are clues to the artist's personal life, style of writing and relationships. They are wonderfully intimate examples of the artist's intriguing choice of images to gift or share with a particular message.
Including works by Aaron Siskind, André Kertész, Frederick Evans, Robert Doisneau, Diane Arbus, Keith Smith, Constantin Brancusi, Francesca Woodman, Alfred Stieglitz, Erwin Blumenfeld, and John Wood
