Lot Essay
In 1943, the year this photograph as taken, Callahan began a series of multiple exposure street scenes:
...as Callahan explored what Moholy-Nagy called 'simultaneous seeing,' he made numerous multiple exposures of city streets and nature....In so doing, he came to realize that he was not only creating images with an inherent energy and movement, but also ones that more accurately expressed his relationships and experiences -- complex, layered, multifaceted, and interrelated (Greenough, p.40).
Vintage prints of this important image are exceedingly rare.
