Les Krims 1975

"Les Krims" is a black and white photograph by Mike Mandel from 1975. It depicts a man wearing a baseball cap and holding a baseball glove. The image is presented in the style of a baseball trading card, with the subject's name printed in bold lettering at the top. This work is a prime example of Mandel's conceptual approach to photography, where he uses found imagery and everyday objects to create intriguing and thought-provoking statements. Mandel's "Baseball Cards" series, which includes "Les Krims," playfully subverts the conventions of traditional baseball cards by featuring unexpected subjects, challenging viewers to consider the nature of representation and identity.
