This is just a great original piece. For those who follow my store, you know I have been buying and selling a lot of photography lately. I will be listing some of what I recently acquired this week. A great chance to add some incredible photographs to any collection. This is one of 2 original photographs by important 20th Century photograph Heinz Weissenstein. For those not familiar with the photographer I have included his biography below. I have been researching these photographs for a while now and come up empty in terms of finding any other examples like this. Almost all of his photographs I have found are in institutions including the 2 major places he represented, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Carnegie Hall. These photographs were printed in 1989 and done in a limited edition. I am wondering if they were done as some sort of fundraiser for the BSO. This is a wonderful large photograph measuring 16 x 20 inches. Signed dated lower right, numbered 11/90 lower left, both in gold ink. Photo is in excellent condition with just some minor handling creases to the edges. Verso has the title in pen as well as the photographer's original stamp. Really just an outstanding photograph. Do your own research on this photograph and photographer. His works are not available for sale anywhere I can find. Particularly signed examples and one with these important subjects. If you are interested in collecting these important photos, check my store for the other I am offering.
For those not familiar with the photographer his biography from the New York Times reads: "Heinz H. Weissenstein, a photographer whose work dealt with musicians and social organizations, died on Saturday in the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass. He was 84 and lived in Lenox, Mass. Mr. Weissenstein was born in Holzminden, Germany, and worked as a banker in Leipzig, where he also led a Jewish youth organization. After leaving Germany for the United States in 1938, he turned his hobby, photography, into a profession. Initially he photographed children, going door to door to obtain work. In 1939, while teaching photography at a boys' summer camp in the Berkshire Mountains, he began photographing the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which was performing nearby at the Tanglewood Music Festival. He soon became the orchestra's official photographer, a position he held until he retired in the late 1980's. In the late 1950's and early 1960's he was also the official photographer for Carnegie Hall. Before retiring, he donated many of his negatives to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and to the United Federation of Teachers, both longtime clients. He also did photographic work for the March of Dimes and the United Jewish Appeal."
