Does anyone know how I can buy prints of her photos?

(sorry brief, - iPhone - work)

Thanks Mayday, but you know what, none of her iconic photos of Cleveland or specifically the terminal tower are part of that group.  I am having a hard time finding them, online at least.

 

 

Thanks Santa Mayday!

There's currently a photograph of the Chrysler Building by Bourke-White up for auction at Christies.  Perhaps we can all go to together on it, the estimate is $30,000 - $40,000.  The art market has been under performing in recent months, so we might get lucky.  A print of Terminal Tower and High Level Bridge sold in April of last year for 10,000.  I've got $20 and some pocket change, anyone else want to go in on this? 

 

If you simply want a reproduction, ebay is an option.  A search for the photographer's name brought 35 results.  You might also try searching for the subject matter.  Photographers, even famous ones, aren't always listed on images.  Also, if a Museum owns a piece, they may have reproduced it, especially if it has appeared in an exhibition.  And, wacky idea time, consider finding a high quality digital copy of an image you like, and have it enlarged by a print shop.  You might find the results more satisfying than any poster.     

 

If you want an actual photographic print, watch the local auction houses, and check the galleries.  I always enjoy looking at Aspire Auctions and Rachel Davis Fine Arts for local artists, and locally related art works.  It is plausible that a photo of Cleveland might turn up locally at auction. 

 

And of course, before making any purchase of a work of fine art, call or visit the Cleveland Museum of Art's Ingalls Library and do a little research into the object.  Bidding on purely emotional investment in an object is unwise.  If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
