Take home a piece of dance history with a print of Lois Greenfield's iconic photograph, "Landings Gibney," signed by Lois and Gina Gibney, as well as a copy of Lois Greenfield's book Airborne, also signed by the author.

In 1993, Lois Greenfield photographed members of the Gibney Company at the time that they were performing "Landings," newly choreographed by Gina Gibney. This was at a time, in Gina's words, when "she had leased her first studio at 890 Broadway and brought a great group of dancers together to form the socially active Company."

This iconic image "Landings Gibney" of Bronwen MacArthur and Lewis Bossing was later published in Ms. Greenfield's book, Airborne; the new dance photography of Lois Greenfield, published by Thames & Hudson, Ltd. England and Chronicle Books, USA in 1998.


LOIS GREENFIELD is one of this country's foremost dance photographers. She does not photograph dance performances. Instead, Ms. Greenfield directs and composes unique dance imagery in her studio, instantly recognizable as her own.

Her photographs capture original and fleeting moments in dance that happen so quickly the eye cannot register them. All her photographs are in-camera, single-frame exposures that are never reconfigured with post-production techniques.

Her photographs, which have been widely admired for over 45 years, celebrate the unmistakable majesty of dancers in motion and the expressive potential of movement. The dancers in Ms. Greenfield's photographs push the limits of the possible in non-repeatable and elusive moments. Museums and galleries around the world collect and display her imagery.

Ms. Greenfield is also the author of Breaking Bounds: The Dance Photography of Lois Greenfield, published by Thames & Hudson, Ltd. England and France, Chronicle Books, USA and JICC Japan in 1992 and of Lois Greenfield: Moving Still, published by Chronicle Books US, Thames & Hudson Ltd., England in 2015.


Terms: Includes 12x12" black and white print of "Landings Gibney," signed by Lois Greenfield and Gina Gibney will sign the print. Simple framing included. The copy of Airborne will also bear Lois Greenfield's signature. Prize pickup or delivery to be coordinated with Gibney's Development Office.
