Description
"Clint Maedgon White Tenor Saxaphone and Bingo InstrumentHead" is a 1/25 limited edition, fine art giclee print in frame by Michael Weintrob of Clint Maedgen, a member of Preservation Hall Jazz Band and New Orleans Bingo! Show. This photo is part of Weintrob's InstrumentHead series of photographs that captures an eclectic array of unique musicians and characters including Bootsy Collins and King Sunny Ade, Big Chief Boudreaux and Uncle Lionel Batiste. Measures 16"x20". Photo comes with a certificate of authenticity.
“Whether an individual is famous or an almost complete unknown, whether they play saxophone or sitar, the one thing they have in common is that music is central to everything they do.” Weintrob explains, “I decided to place their instruments in front of their faces to blur the boundaries between each individual and the tools of their trade. I was asked to create a tagline for InstrumentHead and I immediately came up with ‘Where their head’s really at.’ For a moment, I considered changing it because it felt a little contrived. However, I thought more about these intriguing, larger-than-life creatives for whom music is seemingly just as important as air and realized ‘Where their head’s really at’ truly summed up the project.”
In addition, winning bidder will also receive an InstrumentHead postcard set.
