siskind

Here’s a treat: pictures from Aaron Siskind’s series entitled “Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation.” He made these around the time I was born.

I have always loved them. Well, I love all of his work. I also really liked him. I was lucky enough to do some business with him when I was a gallery owner. He reminded me of my dad.

Anyhow, I am still trying to get back on my feet after the surgery and just couldn’t resist the parallel.
