Mid Century Collection of ‘Shroud of Turin’ / Death of Christ Photographs
Set of 12 Rare and Unique Collection of ‘Shroud of Turin’ Mid Century Historical Photographs. A very particular & rare find. A collection of authentic silver gelatin photographs that were printed individually from public archives, to be able to present the images ‘auditorium style’ setting, I presume with a type of projector normally used to display any photo image onto a wall. A very elaborate and complex way to do a visual history discussion, hopefully with the help of an assistant. This was of course, back in the 1950’s approx.
Twelve one-of-a-kind hand processed photographs, which are all actual authentic, dark room printed, silver gelatin prints, measuing 8 x 10 inches each with some handwritten notes in pencil on verso.
Verbally Appraised at USD$2500 for the set
Available separetly for USD$150 each (appraised at USD$250 each).
When the collection is seen as a whole, one next to each other, as depicted in the main image, it becomes a large artwork on it’s own; a very unique & spectacular montage depicting the face of ‘Christ after Death’
Part of the Private Estate Art Collection of a Los Angeles Collector of Mid Century Art (1920-70’s), who passed away in 1999 in the USA. Acquired via his son in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
