salvaging adler and sullivan's garrick theater book on horizon
This entry was posted on November 25 2018 by Eric
my goal is to digitize any and all images taken by richard nickel of the demolition, salvage, and dispersal of ornament from adler and sullivan's garrick theater (1892-1961) by the end of the year. the images will be a primary source used to build upon the narrative i've been working on for a book loosely titled "salvaging garrick theater."
for the time-being, i'm working off richard nickel's contact sheets housed in the richard nickel archive at ryerson and burnham library, art institute of chicago. images for the garrick theater salvage book will be made from original negatives - also located at the ryerson and burnham archive.
the images in this post (summer, 1961) are mostly a hodgepodge from two contact sheets i had forgotten about. richard nickel, john vinci, and david norris are busy salvaging exterior terra cotta, sections of plaster wall for stencil recovery (this tedious work was fleshed out at the "hanger" and at crombie's house), and general views of the site and surrounding buildings.
look carefully at the images... salvaging ornament is no picnic. it's dangerous and damaging to body and mind.
