Description
Shown here is a large, vintage, silver gelatine print of Henry Rollins, once of the Californian hardcore punk band Black Flag. It was taken in Chicago, in June 1992, by well known rock photographer Derek Ridgers.
It was commissioned by the music magazine NME.
It would make a great acquisition for any Henry Rollins fan. No copies of this image have ever been sold before and, as far as we know, it has only been published once.
Limited editions of Derek Ridgers portraits usually sell for many hundreds of pounds (and occasionally a good deal more than that on websites such as Britart.com). He has exhibited world-wide and extensively in this country including at the Barbican and The National Portrait Gallery, and has also had one man shows at the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Photographers Gallery.
All Derek Ridgers's black and white photographs currently for sale on eBay were printed by himself, in his own darkroom on double weight, fibre based paper, and they were always archivally processed (air dried and cold flattened) to museum standards, regardless of end use.
This photograph is signed by the photographer in pencil on the back alongside one of his own stamps.
The condition of the print is perfect with no marks, creases, folds or discolouration. The illustration shown is a flat bed scan of the actual print being offered and also shows the precise edges of the print. The total print size is 40.2cm by 30.3cm, the image size is 34cm x 23.5cm.
This print is unique and extremely unlikely ever be to reprinted, and certainly not by the photographer himself. I'm able to state this fairly categorically as I'm his daughter and I know that he no longer has a darkroom.
His entire archive is being digitised and the need to finance and make room for this process has led to a requirement to sell a lot of his original prints.
I can also say that once these prints are sold there's no guarantee that images from this session will ever become available again. So if you want one now, at a price decided by Ebayers, this is your chance.
