Description
Shown here is an original, silver gelatine print of Siouxsie Sioux playing on stage with her band. It was taken in the spring of 1977, in The Roxy club, London, by the well known editorial portrait photographer Derek Ridgers.
It would make a truly unique aquisition for any Siouxsie And The Banshees or Punk Rock fan. Prints of this image have never been offered for sale before.
My father's website is due to be relaunched soon, after which we will start selling some of his limited edition prints exclusively prints from there. In the meantime, we will continue to sell what remains of his other prints on Ebay.
Limited editions of Derek Ridgers portraits usually sell for many hundreds of pounds (and occasionally a good deal more than that). He has exhibited world-wide and extensively in this country including at the Barbican, The National Portrait Gallery and, currently, Tate Britain. He has also had one man shows at the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Photographers Gallery.
This photograph is signed in pen by the photographer on the back.
The condition of the print is virtually perfect. The illustration shown is a flat bed scan of the actual print being offered. The total print size is 24cm by 20cm. This particular print is made on resin coated paper.
Derek Ridgers' 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.
Almost all Derek Ridgers' 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. The smaller of these prints (12x10 inches or less) were almost all printed at around the time of the original session. They were either duplicates of those supplied to the magazines or record companies that commissioned them, or they were simply edited out of the original selection that was supplied. I describe all these prints as "vintage". Most of the larger prints were made, but not necessarily at the time of the shoot, for my father's portfolio or for various exhibitions.
If you look at my feedback you'll see that we now have several repeat purchasers, a fact that may best speak for itself.
