Girls in the Windows, New York City, 1960 Photo Print 12x12"

Product Information

In his desire of breathe to life and energy into a building that would soon be gone, he created a picture that 60 years later is as vibrant and original as it was when it appeared behind the ground glass of his camera lens. Shouting through a bullhorn, Gigli arranged the women from his studio across the street, telling them to "pose as if they were giving someone a kiss".

It is also a slice of time in history, as it captures a row of three classic New York Brownstones, which were demolished the day after the shoot.
