Cecil Beaton (British, 1904–1980): Vintage Portrait of Mick Jagger on the set of "Performance." Vintage silver print signed in pencil on the verso. Good condition; traces of adhesive on the reverse. Height 7 1/4 inches (18.5 cm.) X width 9 1/2 inches (24 cm.). Provenance: Estate of Robert Prairie; ex. coll. Robert La Vine (both assistants of Beaton's in NYC - helped organize Beaton's first Museum show, "Cecil Beaton: 600 Faces" Museum of the City of New York, 1969, where vintage prints were pasted to the wall of the museum for the duration of the show (traces of adhesive on the reverse) and left by Beaton as scrap. At the time there was no difference between vintage prints and reprints, the value of an image resting with the negative. Hence Sotheby's auctions of Beaton's vintage images believing the value lie in reprints from the negatives that Sotheby's received with the vintage prints.)
