PROVENANCE:
The artist;
Abe Frajndlich, gift from the above, circa 1995.

As Ilse moved around her adoptive and supportive city of Paris in the Thirties, she was always attuned to the medium she was using to express herself, photography. This signage for a photo studio high up on a (batiment) building certainly caught her attention as she was practicing her craft at a very high level.
