Acquired by the Music Division in 2001 by purchase from a friend
of the photographer. These of photographs of modern dance pioneer
Martha Graham were created at the same time the photographer's husband,
Simon Moselsio, was shooting a documentary film on Graham's piece
"Lamentation." Both images of the dancer were shot in Bennington,
Vermont, at Bennington College during Graham's summer residency
there.
