Untitled (photogram). 1939. Vintage, unique, large-format gelatin silver print. 35,2 x 27,4 cm. Mounted to board, mounted in mat.

Charles Niedringhaus graduated as one of five students in the first class of the Institute of Design in 1942. While still a student, he worked as an assistant to Institute Director László Moholy-Nagy in the basic product design workshop and assisted in two seminars on contemporary art and design issues. After graduation, Niedringhaus's expertise in furniture design and production quickly caught the attention of Hans Knoll, who was seeking talented designers for Knoll Associates. Niedringhaus's long and successful career with Knoll began in 1950 when he assisted Herbert Matter in the production of the Knoll Index of Designs. – Some buckling from mounting, some surface soiling, otherwise an attractive, large print in very good condition.
