Lot Notes

In 'Goodbye Baby and Amen' this photograph is captioned 'The imperfect couple... They became part of the Anti-Establishment establishment. They became rich but never regal.'

This print is unique in this size and was made for the 1989 traveling exhibition The Art of Photography: 150 years, 1839-1989. shown at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and The Australian National Gallery, Canberra. This print was not exhibited at the Royal Academy, another venue on the tour, but was reproduced in the exhibition catalogue.
