SURVEYOR I.
Panorama of the Flamsteed region in Oceanus Procellarum, June 2, 1966-July 14, 1966, 10 gelatin silver prints of a hand mosaic, mounted together, 18¾ x 86½ inches (480 x 2200 mm) overall, framed.
Reminiscent of David Hockney's photographic collages, Surveyor I captures its own shadow on the surface of the Moon. Where the preceding lot is made up of myriad prints collaged together, the present photograph is of such a mosaic.
Exhibited: Cosmos: from Romanticism to the Avant-Garde, Palazzo Grassi, Venice, March 25 to July 23, 2000.
Illustrated: Clair p 243.
