Hairy Wrestlers Day
It's time for another look at some pro wrestlers from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
We start with Bruno Sammartino in a dingy hotel room.
Frielander's work has always been a bit strange I've been collecting it for a few years now. Director David Lynch cites him as his favourite photographer. You can see why.
Friedlander is still around, saw an exhibit of his photos at the Laurence Miller Gallery in NYC years ago. Good slice of life photo of Sammartino, then the champion wrestler in his day. And how many homes had one of those printed lampshades back then. Rex in DC
Lee Friedlander's photos are always mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up his work, and I have to agree with you.

Somehow my family escaped the lamp cliche.
