JIMMY DESANA (1949-1990) Portrait of Salvador Dalí at the St. Regis Hotel, New York. Silver print, the image measuring 12 3/4x9 inches (32.4x23 cm.), the sheet 14x9 7/8 inches (35.6x25 cm.), with DeSana's signature in pencil, his notation Dali in ink, and his camera and copyright address stamps on verso. 1975
Provenance: Gifted by the Artist to Robert A. Stefanotti, his gallerist
This was the largest format in which DeSana printed, and these were very limited, the darkroom process being a painstaking one for him. DeSana shot Dalí when the artist visited New York City, at his preferred hotel.
