 Traditionally Dressed Woman Musician, Bamboo Park, Shanghai, China, 1987 Sponsored by Steven Roski. Properly scanned now. She was a musician in a bamboo forest park and played some sort of sitar instrument with a few other folks dressed in traditional garb. She had a certain look that grabbed me but refused to pose for me. I had my interpreter tell her I'd give her a Polaroid and she then agreed to. I did not pose her, it was a natural pose she took, which looked as if she were about the play the bamboo. One of Valerie's favorites from this series. Note: not available as a reproduction, originals only. Image #4 still available. Prices below.
Some of the China images were not chosen by the sponsors, like the one directly above, as we always have more images to chose from than we have sponsors. So if you would like to get one let us know. They are about 10% of the price, as they are not in a limited edition. |

About
the prices on the 1987 Note: All of the above images, except the two 'new' ones directly above, are from Seewald's second 'sponsored' series, created back in 1987 and released in 1988. Back then, 16x20's (40x51cm) were the only size Seewald made available, in editions of only (10) each.
THUS, THESE IMAGES, editions wise,
ARE VERY, VERY RARE.
Many years ago, the 25 sponsors of these
images invested, sight un-seen, at $350 per 16"x20". Now,
all of them are $20,000
minimum in value. Some of them
(2) are
up to $100,000 in value, due to
sales!! Seewald allows only 8 sponsors to pre-purchase images
'sight-unseen' these days! Prices for sponsoring increase every couple of years.
To sponsor your own, like over 350 other collectors have now done, see:
Sponsor Program, see:
Pricing History)
Current pricing schedule Note: this schedule has been modified many times, increasing dramatically over the decades, and will probably continue to do so!
Again, all of which are only available in the 16"x20" (40x51cm) size. We still have most at the $20K price, but as each one sells it increases, with some having reached the $30K, $40K, $50K and two even the $100K prices now (Pianoman and The Three Graces). ********************************************
Concerning Seewald's
Believe
it or not, the following was the original price list schedule. It has been
revised a few times as Michael has completed more trips, won more major
international awards and watched photographic art come into 'it's own' over the past two
decades. Michael was quoted, "Everyone GASPED of my proposed planned price increase chart (see below) when they first saw this set released back in 1988. Sponsor price was $350 and they bought sight un-seen, as the program required. All 25 sponsors waited one year from the trip to see and choose their favorite from 30 or so available images."
