William Klein made a film in the late 1980s about how he uses his contact sheets in making decisions about which negatives to print. Developing out of that film project, he experimented with painting markings on enlarged segments of film strips, such as in the present lot, that are similar to what he would apply to his contact sheets with a grease pencil.
