( ©1948 Irving Penn / Christie's ) Penn's 1948 photograph of two impoverished Peruvian youngsters, titled "Cuzco Children," sold for $529,000 in 2008, setting a world auction record. It was one of his "platinum-palladium" prints, a meticulous and costly process that involves repeated printings of a negative on one piece of paper to create an extraordinary depth and richness. |
