Looking for Irving Penn's "Girl in Bed on the Telephone"
Does anyone know of a book which has a Irving Penn's "Girl in Bed on the Telephone" in it? I'd like to get hold of a copy. And does anyone know when it was made and who the model was?
"Irving Penn, “Girl in Bed on Telephone (Jean Patchett), New York”, (1949), gelatin silver print, ‘print made near to date of photograph’ signed, initialed, titled, dated on the reverse, 19 3/8 by 15 inches. [CHRISTIE’S, Sale N08164, “20TH CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHS / Elfering”, October 10, ’05, Lot #92]. Estimate: $40,000 – 60,000 / Sold: $192,000." http://www.artcritical.com/appel/BAFall2005.htm
Good luck. Amazon seems to have temporary sold out, but you may be able to find it at a local bookstore. Not a large book in terms of size, it is over 700 pages, is a superb compilation, and priced very nicely.
There is a much more abridged version of this book, but make sure you buy the one over 700 pages.
