30 x 21cm, black and white silver gelatine photograph from original negative - a portrait of Allan Kaprow outside a shop in New York.

This image was originally taken by Fred McDarrah and his estate retains copyright on the image so this is sold for personal use and not for reproduction. This is in very good condition and a crisp modern print (post 1990s we suspect) from original negative. If this was a vintage print we would charge much more.
