As vintage Louis Faurer prints, such as this one, are steadily finding their way into important museum collections, the later prints are becoming more sought after. Beginning in the late 1970s, Faurer received a series of grants and fellowships, from the New York State Council for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts to the Guggenheim Foundation, that, along with the encouragement of the growing photographic market, allowed him to re-assess and reprint negatives from earlier in his career. The remaining Faurer lots in this sale consist of prints made during this period.
