The art here is a very limited edition c-print from the vault of Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone photographer from 1967-1970. It's a great image of Janis Joplin--she's decked out in opulent fabrics from across the globe, more glam than I've ever seen her, yet such a fresh-faced, young, happy smile--a real innocence about her. Wolman was famous for his informal portraits.
The customer purchased the photo directly from the photographer, who remembered a sweet detail about the shoot: Janis was nervously humming the whole time.
Great materials are used in the framing of this piece: A shimmery navy shantung silk mat (grain running vertically, of course!) 3TS/4B, a champagne gold large beaded fillet to echo the eclectic textiles and motifs in the photograph, and a classic extruded museum frame in an identical finish to the fillet. Glazed with Museum glass from TruView.
And once again, I have given you the gift of a large format upload, just click to enlarge.
