Original Photography by Robert Kent Sharpe, Metropolitan Museum
About the Item
This is an original vintage photograph from Robert Kent Sharpe's (1930-2016) personal collection. This is a series of Mr. Sharpe's human observation and the interplay of art and people, and vice-versa.
We acquired this and others like it from his estate in Florida. His photography is included in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The collection we acquired are all on professional photo paper and matting. Each is encased in its protective plastic case and confirms where it was taken.
