SILENT AUCTION #1
We're so pleased to present the first of our seven prints in our REMEMBERING Silent Auction.
"Champagne Lady" (1/25) is a wonderful portrait of a (doubtless) well-heeled member of The Tavern Club in Chicago by the American photographer, MAGGIE DIAZ.
Wikipedia tells us: "During the 1950s, Diaz became resident photographer at Chicago's famous cultural hub The Tavern Club. The club was founded in 1927 'to encourage the arts, intellectual recreation and good humored interest in life.' Diaz captured images of patrons, dancers and many Jazz greats including the Ramsey Lewis Trio."
This image is certainly one of her best-known from her Chicago period and we're delighted to have been donated this print, the first of a new edition.

To place a bid in the Silent Auction - either come to MAGNET (and enjoy the complete exhibition of over 100 prints in REMEMBERING , our Fundraiser for Dementia Australia) or contact us at the gallery to place a bid by phone : (03 8589 0371) .
Bids close on SUNDAY 28 JUNE at 2.30pm

Facebook recently reminded me that this image of mine was included in a digital projection series during the opening of the Exposure Award Show in See.me's New York City gallery in July 2013. It is a manipulated version of a light sculpture that was then in the foyer of a Canberra building.
