Lewis Morley With Millstone, Sydney [NSW]
2006. Silver gelatin photograph, inscribed “Happy Birthday Rodney” in ink in lower margin, labels attached to frame below image and verso, one signed “Lewis [and] Pat” in ink, 11.3 x 8.6cm. Framed. Labels read “Hidden assets. Liabilities better left concealed. (Source: Researched from Contradictionary). Joint Effort. A labour of love from your Sept. and Oct. friends. Done without making a hash of it. Lewis [and] Pat.” Provenance: Rodney Marks (Aust. comedian). Variant crop illustrated in Lewis Morley: I to Eye, 2011, p163, with the text “The Profumo Affair created an intense media focus on a single photograph in Morley’s catalogue, with numerous examples of unauthorised usage through extensive multi-media homage to the pose and style Morley found in the original Keeler shot. This self-portrait at 80 years old shows it still weighed heavily.”
