ASPEN. 1948.
39 3/4x30 inches.
Condition A-: pinholes in corners; minor restoration in margins.
A perfect photomontage promoting Aspen, from the world's longest ski lift to everything else Aspen has to offer, including the Hotel Jerome, a landmark in the city. There is no trace of Bauhaus rigidity in this image -on the contrary, it's a playful graphic game by a great master. A little gem, more than rare.
