Essentials

Essentials is a Leporello (accordion-fold portfolio of prints), signed work by Robert Longo, referenced 65, created in 2009. It is from the numbered edition of 75.

Robert Longo (b. 1953) emerged with New York's Pictures Generation, best known for the large charcoal 'Men in the Cities' drawings. His editions carry the same stark, photographic monumentality into printed form.

As an editioned work, it offers a documented example of Robert Longo's practice — the same sensibility that defines the larger body of work, issued in a form built for close looking.
