The one of a kind collection captures, and preserves, part of Americana advertising, culture and commercial heritage- 90% of the imageryis GONE forever!

The collection was photographed over 23 years and 43 states! These never published images, are a documentation of past Americana and visual imagery and expressionism. Walker Evans, Man Ray,Chuck Close, Cartier Bresson, Chistenberry -NO other single photographer in history has achieved the immense scope (and variety) of this "photo realism"collection and in such a powerful form of popular expression. Susan Kismarik, photo curator at MOMA, selected images as National Award Winners for photo show at Soho Gallery in July! * Many sign images are relics of "Americana" and a vital record of the past and are GONE FOREVER - never to be recaptured or documented! I am looking for private or corporate collectors and will consider individual purchases from the collection. You may contact me at: email: ad2web@aol.com. Thank you for your consideration.
