Item Description
Lot of three 9x13.5" silver gelatin photos by famed photographer Bruce Davidson, a member of the Magnum Photos agency since 1958. From 1961 to 1965, Davidson produced one of his most famous bodies of work, chronicling the events/effects of the Civil Rights Movement around the country. In support of his project, Davidson received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962, and his finished project was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. For his documentation of the Civil Rights Movement, Davidson received the first ever photography grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. These photos show noted author Truman Capote holding one copy of his critically-acclaimed true crime book "In Cold Blood." One photo shows him holding several copies in hand. Pictures were taken in 1965 in the offices of Random House Publishing, who first published "In Cold Blood" in 1966. The photos show Capote w/David and Albert Maysles, who (along w/Charlotte Zwerin) created the 1966 documentary "With Love From Truman," which featured a "Newsweek" reporter interviewing Capote at his home in Long Island. Capote talks about "In Cold Blood," his relationship w/the murderers central to its story and his coverage of the subsequent trial. Each photo is marked on reverse by Davidson, two bearing his 1965 copyright stamp and other w/hand-lettered copyright in red pencil. Photos have some minor corner tip wear, but if framed, would display Exc.
