Lot 1122
Ansel Adams. View of Kern Canyon. Print size: 5 3/4"x 7 3/4". Mount size: 7 3/4"x 10". Unsigned. Vintage gelatin silver print made from a glass plate negative (2-GP-107) taken on a Sierra Club outing into the Kern-Kaweah/Mt. Whitney region of the Sierra Nevada in the Summer of 1927. The outing description of the Canyon is enticing; "Its towering cliffs and sculptured walls are strikingly Yosemite-like, and the main stream flows through a series of exquisite lakes and meadows from its source in a mighty cliff-encircled amphitheater amid savage peaks." This is probably a sample print made from which to generate orders from club members who were on the outing. Matted to 13" x 15". With COA from The Ansel Adams Gallery.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
