Lot Essay
The larger, scrawling signature in red wax pencil on the verso of this print signifies that it was considered by the artist at the time to be one of his 'master' prints.
“I found Mick to be incredibly collaborative—very professional. He was obviously the one who called the shots. The rest of the band kind of goofed off. I found he had a lot of presence and didn’t need to perform. I just love this moment, and we were just sitting and talking. It’s just a Mick image.” – Norman Seeff, from an interview with Lenora Jane Estes, Vanity Fair, 9.12.13

Neutral toned print on matte double weight Agfa Portriga paper with margins. Two very subtle circular protruberances in upper right quadrant, barely visible under raking light/close inspection, and not affecting image significantly. Extremely faint paper cockling at left/right print edges, and a tiny tear at extreme lower margin/print edge, none affecting image. A fantastic print, in very good condition.
