descrizione

Haskins did all his printing for his creative work with a handful of exceptions.

He also passed away (2009) with only 2.5% of his archive signed. The Haskins Archive is characterised by a broad creative range, including many iconic works.

Still, there is only a very small number of silver gelatin prints for each image (typically 1-3 copies, sometimes a few more), so signed works are especially rare.

Sam Haskins built his reputation on his legendary books, which meant he originally printed to make maquettes (4 for each 60’s title) for presentation to publishers, not to produce stock for the print market.

In other words, Sam Haskins silver gelatine are organically hyper-limited, there are no ‘editions’ of his vintage black and white work.

RARITY NOTE

There is one other Lifetime Print existence. A signed copy of this print (a gift from Sam) hangs in the home of Nicole Kidman.
