"The dynamic style that made Elgort such a sensation in fashion photography was directly informed by his love for jazz and dance. Explores for the very first time the creative exchange between the photographer and his musical heroes" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Arthur Elgort, Wynton Marsalis, and jazz aficionado/collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Cardboard Box "Collector's Edition", indicated/numbered as such on the print itself. The original 14 X 11 inch mounted silver-gelatin print is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully titled, numbered, and signed in pencil on verso by the photographer: "Wynton Marsalis New York City, 1992 Arthur Elgort 30/30". It is signed directly on the print itself, not on a tipped-in page. As the very last copy, it is also the most desirable and collectible. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition With Print still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Arthur Elgort signed the print, which is what you're really paying for and at an incredibly reasonable price, NOT the book. A rare signed copy thus. 160 plates, 1 original print.
