Label copy

The source material for these prints was a photograph the artist snapped of Barbra Streisand during her visit to Philadelphia to tape the television program Color Me Barbra (1966). At the time these works were made, offset lithography was primarily a commercial technique employed for copying images, but Eugene Feldman used its color separation and filters for formal experimentation. Here, varying layers of tone and tight cropping reflect the performer’s complex personality while also giving her a regal appearance.

The image was published on the cover of Philadelphia’s Sunday Bulletin Magazine in 1966, with an article about Feldman’s series.
