Lot Essay

Lots 14-15 were printed by Alexander Rodchenko’s daughter Varvara, made from original negatives for the proof of Rodchenko’s first monograph, Alexander Rodchenko, published in Prague in 1964. The size of these prints reflects the size they would have been appeared in the text. The monograph was authored by professor Lubomir Linhart—whose stamp is visible on the reverse of these prints.
