Special Offering - Wright Morris

Eggs in Pot, Home Place (circa 1947)

We are offering another of Wright Morris’ finest prints. Mr. Morris was a pioneer in the thirties of what he termed “photo-text”, Wright Morris combined his skills as a writer and photographer, joining his pictures with short, lyrical passages of prose that were related in spirit, but were in no way illustrative or interpretive. This photograph is included in his book The Home Place.

This is a very rare photograph, even though it is one of his most popular. Having been raised in the country and collecting eggs from mean-spirited chickens, this photograph has a great deal of meaning, having not been able to collect the other eight eggs to make a dozen.

Valued between $4,000 - $5,000, we are offering this signed 8x10 print matted to 16x20 and signed on the back by Mr. Morris for $1500. Only one photograph is available. Please contact us by phone at 505-466-3099 or via text to 480-280-4836 if you are interested in purchasing this for your collection.
