Description: This is a rare, estate stamped, Tim Hetherington print which was sold during Magnum Photos The More or Less Decisive Moment(s) Square Print Sale in June 2016. Condition: Brand New/Mint. Estate Stamped The print is estate stamped on the back, the accompanying text label is attached to the back of the print and is of archival quality. Magnum Square Prints are printed on Fuji Crystal archive paper and come in an archival and protective sleeve. All prints are archival quality and are approved by the photographer. Magnum worked closely with photographers and estates to ensure that all editions were presented according to their intentions. Paper size: 6 x 6 in (15.24 x 15.24 cm) Image Size: 5.5 in (14 cm) on the longest side The print was issued in an un-numbered Limited Edition (limited to the number of prints purchased during the 7 days in which the sale was open to the public). It is sure to become a highly collectible photograph given the provenance linking it directly to the Magnum Photos collective and to the photographer. Text on the archival label attached to the back of the print: βHow spontaneous is that glance? Itβs hard to know if Tim made this portrait as a caught moment or as a process, but we do know that it was purposeful. Having deliberately identified it as a rubber tire, Tim further annotated the image with historical data: in 1926 the Firestone Rubber Tire Company signed a 99-year lease with the Liberian Government and rubber manufacture became the backbone of the economy. He later returned to the picture to note that in 2005 Firestone was sued in the US for slavery and use of child labor. Tim stored his photographic moments like bottles of wine, maybe inactive for years but never forgotten, and he would dip into the cellar to turn them occasionally until the moment matured.β β Stephen Mayes, Tim Hetherington Trust Please note: The product images you see here are photographs of the actual prints for sale.
