Lot Details
Antanas Sutkus (Lithuanian, b. 1939) Pioneer, Ignalina, 1964 Gelatin silver print, printed later. Signed and dated by the artist, credit, title and date in an unknown hand in pencil, verso. image/ sheet: 15-3/8 x 11-3/4 inches (39.0 x 29.8 cm) PROVENANCE: Grisebach GmbH: Berlin, Modern and Contemporary Photographs, November 30, 2016, lot 2144. A leading figure in Lithuanian photography, Sutkus was born in Kluoniškiai, a small, rural village in the heart of the country. He adopted photography as a teenager, purchasing his first camera with money he made from digging peat. Sutkus' images are subtly seditious, reflecting the hardships of everyday life in Lithuania under Soviet control, yet also reflective of his warm affection and respect for his compatriots. This powerful image, depicting a solemn group of Pioneers (the Soviet boy/girl scout equivalent), is perhaps Sutkus' finest image. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
Grisebach GmbH: Berlin, Modern and Contemporary Photographs, November 30, 2016, lot 2144.
Neutral toned print on matte, double-weight paper, trimmed to edges. Minor edge chipping, lower and right margins, not affecting image significantly. A beautiful print of Sutkus' striking image. Sold matted and unframed.
