Digital BW, The Print

Sorry this doesn't have much to do with digital, but I felt that some 
of you may be able to assist me.  I have a Cole Weston Print from an 
Edward Weston Negitive that I've had for almost 30 years. I would 
like to sell it.  Any of you have any advice on how or where I might 
be able to do so?
Thanks,
Randy

Find an AIPAD dealer. They seem to be a pretty above board bunch, and a
print like this is what many of them specialize in. See:

Contact Russell Levin Gallery - he has a big following on eBay - sells big and small 
photographers. I have purchased many prints from him - mostly unknown photographers.

Hi Randy:

What print? I have a China Cove and would love to put a Pepper next 
to it, or any one of a few others. You can also sell it yourself on e 
b a y.

Randy - You might want to look through AIPAD to see which dealers or
galleries handle Weston's work.  They may know of people interested in
purchasing prints and might take yours on consignment.  Which image is it?

"Wouldn't you like to have a Pepper too!" If it was the "Pepper" I 
probably wouldn't be selling it, that's my favorite Weston Print 
next to Nude 1936 in Door way.  It is one of Weston's more popular 
prints, Juniper, Lake Tenaya 1938.  It's a BEAUTIFUL print, and in 
mint condition.  I've heard some comment that a lot of the Cole 
Weston prints are superior to many of Edwards own prints!  Let me 
know if your interested, I'd be glad to give you a discount off of 
what these prints are selling for!

Interesting thread, as I sit here trying to figure out how to make b&w
prints on the 2200.  I've watched Cole make contact prints from EW negs,
kleenex wrapped around a single light bulb, Amidol and the whole nine yards.
The problem was that he couldn't duplicate the particular silver grades that
EW used.  It's tough to find grade 0...there are VC filters but that would
be heresy.  The other day I downloaded a 10mb file of the Dorothea Lange
"Migrant Farm Worker" from the FMA site, airbrushed out the thumb in the
right side and touched up the contrast a bit.  Another thing I'll burn for.

Someone asked EW what his favorite photo equipment was -- the answer was his
dry-mount press.  60-70 years can change a lot.  For the better I hope,
though those old prints still tug at the heart-strings for old farts like
me.  Enough nostalgia - email off to Colorbyte to see when IP6 is coming out
for XP.

Off topic, but Michael Smith has commented about the
same issue.  Cole used enlarging papers (much to the
discredit of the original images), while EW used
contact (azo/convira) papers.
