John Szarkowski 1975

This 1975 black and white photograph by Mike Mandel, titled "John Szarkowski," is part of the artist’s “The Baseball Card Series” which playfully parodies baseball cards by featuring unlikely subjects. In this card, the renowned art curator, John Szarkowski, is pictured holding a baseball glove as if he were a star athlete. The series, a work of Conceptual art, challenges the conventional representations of fame and identity.
