Lot Essay

In April 1925, Clarence White took a group of students to photograph at Croton Dam, outside of New York City. The series of images he made incorporate the soft, diffused light of Pictorialism with the modern, abstract vision that interested him in his later compositions. He compiled his work from that day into a portfolio of small platinum prints. White died later that same year while traveling in Mexico.

Extant prints from this series are considered rare.
