Description
Printed from the Library of Congress negative, under the supervision of the artist, for the 1971 Walker Evans retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, this unique mural-size print of Evans's "Furniture Sign near Birmingham" is a relic from that landmark exhibition. Twelve other important images by Evans were reprinted in the same format, each approximately eight by six feet, and consisting of two panels joined together. The photo-murals strategically separated the exhibition's white walls, which were each lined with 200 smaller images.
