Description

Joan Crawford/George Hurrell Studio Portrait (MGM, 1932). Still (16" X 20"). Notoriously ambitious, Joan Crawford made friends and enemies during her rise to the top of the Hollywood mountain. But no one could deny her beauty and talent. Taken the same year as the release of "Grand Hotel," this 1932 George Hurrell portrait captures the mystery and elegance of one of the silver screen's most enduring legends. Offered here is a haunting print of Crawford from the very limited edition of Hurrell's work as part of the photographer's Portfolio I printed in 1979. It is numbered 99/250 and is boldly signed in black ink by the artist in the lower right. After Hurrell's death in 1992, copies of these prints were stamped with his signature. This example is a true hand-signed original and is in excellent condition with faint bending and a small smudge in the upper left border. Near Mint.
