  • Harold Feinstein, “Boy with Chalk Numbers, Brooklyn.” [Photograph, Photography]
    Nov. 15, 2020

    Harold Feinstein, “Boy with Chalk Numbers, Brooklyn.” [Photograph, Photography]

    Est: $3,850 - $4,500

    “Boy with Chalk Numbers, Brooklyn.”; 10x13” image on 11x14”; hand signed recto; Silver Gelatin Print on Warmtone Paper. Edition 2/20, image capture 1955, printed by the artist in 2007. Excellent Condition. Courtesy of The Harold Feinstein Trust. (1931-2015) “This particular print was among the last ever hand printed in the darkroom by Harold, who had been known through his life as a master printer. Due to physical difficulties and his attention to color work in the early 2000s, he had 15 year hiatus from darkroom printing. In 2013 he went back into the darkroom to print 13 different images in limited editions. This image was among them. They are known as special edition prints. All other contemporary limited edition prints, begun in 2007 were printed by others under Harold’s direction." Harold Feinstein was born in Coney Island in 1931 to Jewish immigrant parents. He began photographing in 1946 when he was 15. By the time he was 19, Edward Steichen had purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art making him the youngest person to be so honored. Before the age of 30 he had become the youngest member of the Photo League, a designer for Blue Note jazz records, one of the original inhabitants of New York’s legendary “Jazz Loft”, a collaborator with W. Eugene Smith, a solo exhibitor at the historic Helen Gee’s Limelight Gallery, and a renowned teacher. When he died in June, 2015 the New York Times declared him “one of the most accomplished recorders of the American experience.”    He is best known for his Coney Island work, which spans six decades and intimately portrays the iconic American playground as a place of on-going exuberance and vitality.  Commenting on his one-man show, A Coney Island of the Heart, at the International Center for Photography in 1990,  photo historian and critic, A.D. Coleman, remarked: “Here is New York small camera school at it’s best; humanistic, engaging,  almost intrusive… [T]his is the work of a man who loves people, takes unalloyed pleasure in seeing them enjoy themselves, likes to get close to them – and, by rendering their physicality in tactile, nuanced prints, enmeshes the viewer in the sensual, material world his ‘subjects’ occupy.”   His most recent monograph, Harold Feinstein: A Retrospective (Nazraeli, 2012) received a PDN Annual Best Photography Book Award in 2013. While his Coney Island work has been much celebrated, Feinstein's breadth and exposure is far greater. His photographs from the Korean War, taken from the perspective of a draftee, offer an intimate look at the daily life of young conscripts from basic training to the front lines. In addition, he has a large collection of classic street photography, nudes, portraits and still life.   In addition to his classic black and white work, Feinstein devoted over a decade to color photography, both digital and film. In 2000 he received the Smithsonian Computerworld Award for his breakthrough work in scanography, which resulted in seven books published by LIttle Brown.   Feinstein was also legendary teacher who influenced several generations of photographers. He received his first teaching fellowship when he was 29 at the Annenberg School of Communications in Philadelphia. Throughout the years he consistently taught workshops from his studio, and also held teaching posts at The Maryland Art Institute, Philadelphia Museum School, The New York School of Visual Arts, Windham College and College of the Holy Cross.   His work is owned by museums and corporations worldwide including Museum of Modern Art in New York, The International Center for Photography, The George Eastman House,  The Museum of the City of New York, The Jewish Museum and over two dozen other museums. A documentary about his life, Last Stop Coney Island: The Life and Photography of Harold Feinstein, premiered at the DOC NYC film festival in November 2018 to a sold out crowd and has continued to tour and receive great reviews.  In 2011  the Griffin Museum presented him with the LIving Legend Award.
