'Sitting by the campfire, waiting to go to the airport and leave Kenya, I had a very heavy heart. Then, when the giraffe walked into camp, Peter calmly said, 'This is it, folks. Maureen, get ready'. My heart went from melancholy to beating out of my chest…I was scared and in awe of the towering beast. I'd never felt so alive.' (Vogue, 28 April 2020)⠀ .⠀ The resulting image from that night continues to induce the same awe Gallagher felt that very night and stands as a testament to Beard's incredible skill and vision.⠀ .⠀ Peter Beard (1938-2020), 'Maureen Gallagher and a night feeder at Hog Ranch, February, 1987'. Estimate: $120,000-180,000.⠀ .⠀ Photographs — 21 - 30 September, online⠀ .⠀ #photographs #photography #art #artist #peterbeard #kenya #model #giraffe」9月30日 10時58分
