Walter de Maria (1935 - 2013), untitled photo, ca. 1974

Original b/w photograph, 35.5 x 25 cm, by Bob Benson, stamped on verso. Housed in original envelope sent by Maria's New York gallery Heiner Friedrich, stamped 1974.

Striking photo featuring an elegant woman in a luxurious speedboat, seated next to a dead shark. The work was shown in a series by De Maria in the legendary exhibition 'Rooms', the 1976 inaugural show of P.S.1 in Long Island City, curated by Alanna Heiss. Slightly dog-eared on two corners (less than 1 cm), not impacting the image. Generally a near mint copy.
