JIMMY DESANA (1949-1990)
Portrait of the musician James Chance (1953- ). Silver print, the image measuring 12 3/4x8 7/8 inches (32.4x22.5 cm.), the sheet 14x11 (35.6x27.9 cm.), with DeSana's signature in pencil on verso. 1978

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.

De Sana produced an album cover for Chance, also known as James White, who is a saxophonist, keyboard player, and singer.
