Own a Rare Photo Print from the Arhoolie Foundation Collection
For the first time, the Arhoolie Foundation is offering signed photographs from the Chris Strachwitz Archive. During the fifty-five years Chris ran his Arhoolie label, and even a few years before that, he not only documented the sounds of regional American music, but the sights as well. Wherever he went, Chris carried a camera: from the beer joints of the south to the folk clubs of Berkeley, CA. Often his purpose was to get a shot for the cover of the record he captured that day. Some of those portraits are as indelible as the music itself.
These are limited edition of ten prints each and will come with a letter of authenticity from the Arhoolie Foundation with information about the pictures and the associated releases.
Each print is handmade and printed with low or acid-free ink in two sizes: 11×14 and 16×20. All photos are hand-signed by Chris Strachwitz. Once these signed prints are sold, there will be no more prints of this edition.
11×14 prints – $250/each
16×20 prints – $400/each
