Dorothy Norman

Mid-1930s

Double weight semi-gloss silver gelatin mounted on backing board. Stamps "For Philadelphia Museum Collection Dorothy Norman" and "Original Dorothy Norman" on reverse. "By Dorothy Norman" in blue ink and various pencil annotations. From the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. My final photo reproduces the catalogue entry for that collection.

Norman took several photographs of this church and its steeple; others taken from different angles are in the National Gallery of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Eastman Museum, and other institutions. One of these variants sold at auction with Christie's for $1,375 in 2016; two others are listed for sale with Vintage Works Gallery for $3,500 and $4,500. I've not located another printing of this particular configuration.
