Bio
Garry Winogrand (1928–1984) was born in New York City and worked through the 1950s and 1960s as a freelance photojournalist and advertising photographer while photographing the streets on his own account, often with a wide-angle lens and a tilted frame. He was one of three photographers in New Documents at the Museum of Modern Art in 1967, with Diane Arbus and Lee Friedlander, and had solo exhibitions there in 1969, 1977 and 1988. His books include The Animals (1969), made at the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium, Women Are Beautiful (1975), Public Relations (1977) and Stock Photographs (1980), on the Fort Worth rodeo. He received three Guggenheim Fellowships and taught photography in the 1970s.
What comes to market is mostly gelatin silver prints. Prints made in his lifetime, many printed by him or under his eye and signed, are treated differently from later prints made from his negatives, and much of his later film was never proofed while he was working, so a buyer will want to know when and by whom a print was made, and what stamps, signatures and annotations it carries. The Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona, holds his archive. Prints should be checked for silvering, scuffs, creases and fading.
