Weegee (American, 1899-1968) Asleep on the Fire Escape, East Side Tenement, 1940 Gelatin silver print 10-1/2 x 13-3/4 inches (26.7 x 34.9 cm) (image) 11 x 14-1/4 inches (sheet) Titled and dated in pencil, with photographer's Arthur Fellig stamp and Freelance Photographers Guild, Inc. stamp, verso. Constantly on the move, Weegee's car was central to his practice. While the story of developing photographs in a makeshift darkroom in the trunk of his car proved untrue, his floor, backseat, and trunk were employed as storage for his camera, supplies, film, and finished prints.
