CAN YOU LIFT YOUR SKIRT, MARILYN?/CAN I LIFT YOUR SKIRT?. 1974. TWO UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHS. SIGNED.

£995.00

102 x 76cm backing panel with handwritten text by Collins and two 34.5 x 23cm, unique c-print showing a model firstly holding up her own skirt to show her panties and then a second image of Collins lifting her skirt with the texts “CAN YOU LIFT YOUR SKIRT, MARILYN?” and “CAN I LIFT YOUR SKIRT?” under each.

The additional text in pencil reads “As Marilyn, a girl I’d met in the Garment Center, Manhattan, was a complete stranger I liked the idea of persuading her to break not one but two cultural rules. She not only lifted her skirt, she let me lift it too.” ”

A conceptual underpinning to Collin’s photographic work that else at times seems voyeuristic.

There is some minor grubbiness to the backing card (a footprint!) which could be removed with care and some wear at the corners but the c-prints are in near fine condition.

Signed and dated (’74) by Collins bottom right. A unique work.
