Item Description
This is a present-day silver halide print of a 1963 photo of California cotton pickers dragging their long sacks through a field in Tulare County. Ernest Lowe took the photo in 1964 as part of a documentary study of farm worker life, which also included radio broadcasts on KPFA-FM.
10"x10.25" signed prints (image is narrower in the display than the offered prints)
Item Special Note
The photo was displayed in Don't Cry for me Babey, a controversial multimedia exhibit at San Francisco's deYoung Museum. The deYoung Board of Directors attempted to ban the show where this photo appeared. Lowe stopped this by threatening a city-wide storefront exhibition of the collection with condemnation of the decision.
