WEEGEE Original 8 X 10 Photo Movie Star Distortion ’50s Arthur Fellig Photograph

This auction is for an original 8 by 10 inch silver gelatin photograph made by noted celebrity and newspaper photographer Arthur Fellig in the early 1950s. Late in his career WEEGEE used various darkroom manipulations to satarize public figures such as movie stars and politicians, here is one of them.

This item is in excellent condition, in sharp focus. There is no photographer’s imprint or signature, however we guarantee authenticity of this item so bid with confidence.

THIS ITEM comes from the estate of Peter Martin who was a close friend of WEEGEE and was the publisher of several photo magazines during the early 1950s. Martin’s photo studio in the Greenwich Village section of New York City was a meeting place for many famous & aspiring photographers of the time.
