ALLEN GINSBERG - Lot 293
ALLEN GINSBERG Beat Generation… at a demonstration, 1960s. Photograph, vintage silver gelatin print, stamped and annotated on the back. 19.8 x 28.7 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1960s, depicts Allen Ginsberg at a protest, reflecting the public activism of one of the leading figures of the Beat Generation. An American poet, writer, and intellectual, Ginsberg gained international fame with his poem *Howl*, published in 1956, a work that became emblematic of American counterculture. Alongside Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Gregory Corso, he helped shape a literary and artistic movement that challenged the dominant values of postwar America. In the 1960s, his activities extended far beyond the realm of literature: he was actively involved in the peace movements, the civil rights struggles, and the social protests that defined the decade. This photograph thus illustrates the central role he played in the cultural and political movements of his time. A vintage silver gelatin print, it serves as a valuable testament to the history of American counterculture and one of its most influential figures. Note:
