Madonna NYC 83, 2013
Offset lithograph poster on high quality thin card paper (hand signed by the photographer)
Hand signed by Richard Corman on the lower left front
32 × 24 inches
Unframed
This gorgeous offset lithograph poster was printed by Manhattan's renowned Duggal print shop on the occasion of an elegantly curated 2013 exhibition of Richard Corman's iconic photographs of Madonna from the early 1980s, at the Milk Gallery near Chelsea's High Line. More than 50 images were on display in Milk Gallery New York from November 15 through December 15, 2013. This poster is boldly signed in silver sharpie by the photographer. It was designed by Corman himself, and it features one of his iconic Madonna photographs in Prada pink -- to match the color of the cover of the limited edition book of polaroids Corman took of Madonna in 1983. The letters NYC 83 are also creatively designed to look like the instantly recognizable New York City subway lettering - matching the design of the spine of the monograph "Madonna NYC 83" published by Damiani around the same time. This pink poster is not numbered but according to Corman, not that many were printed, and he hand signed only about a dozen.
More information about the exhibition from the Milk Gallery's original promotional materials:
Madonna NYC83 is an era-defining collection of images from Richard Corman’s photo shoots with the ‘material girl’ in 1983 as she released her first studio album. Corman shared with Milk Gallery his thoughts on the 1980s New York creative scene, when fashion, art and music collided. “It was original, it was unique and it was on fire,” Corman said. Madonna and the budding photographer first met at her East Village apartment and “for the next several hours, the pair walked the streets of New York City as she turned nursing homes, rooftops and building rubble into her own personal photo studio,” Milk says. Richard Corman Photography and Madonna met for their first photo shoot in New York City in 1983.
"Early in May of 1983, I got a call from my mother, Cis Corman. She was casting Scorsese’s new film, The Last Temptation of Christ and said she’d just auditioned a woman I really had to photograph. “She’s an original! I’ve never met anyone like her!” I was just beginning my career, and I was always looking for charismatic subjects, so I agreed. The woman was Madonna, and the part she’d auditioned for was the Virgin Mary." Richard Corman
Sadly, Milk Gallery has shuttered, so this poster is now a collector's item.

Richard Corman
While Richard Corman’s photography varies widely in subject matter, it is always intensely focused on the infinitely varied expressions of the human spirit. Ken Burns, documentarian and director, describes Richard’s work as: "Artistic vision dedicated to the highest aspirations of human endeavor... the photographs record in big moments and small, among the famous and ordinary, the gifted and challenged, larger truths relevant to all of us." As a portrait photographer, Corman has worked with a thrilling breadth of subjects from Nobel Peace Prize recipients Nelson Mandela and Elie Wiesel to esteemed actors at the top of their profession such as Robert De Niro, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Meryl Streep. In addition to his work with those already acknowledged for their accomplishments, Corman has the unique ability to see the compelling gifts in yet to be celebrated young artists. This has led him to working relationships with Madonna, Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring as each was on the cusp of showing to the world what Richard had already captured. Richard has worked with elite athletes who inspire greatness, like Michael Jordan, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Muhammad Ali. Beyond the physical prowess and beauty of the athletes, Richard has been able to capture the spirit of determination and dedication that is at each of their cores. Some of the best-loved musicians of our time have worked with Corman, including Sting, Wynton Marsalis and Barbra Streisand. Richard’s gift for generating trust and openness with his subjects has extended to his portraits of writers, visual artists and dancers, who epitomize the best of their art, such as Kurt Vonnegut, Isamu Noguchi and Misty Copeland. Richard is driven to find and capture an essential image of great spirits and great talent. Throughout his career, he’s been fortunate and honored to find them at all stages of the arc of their career. Richard’s desire to capture the beauty of the human spirit extends beyond the commercial and entertainment worlds. Humbling experiences with many socio-cultural projects and non-profit organizations have translated into an extensive portfolio of indelible images. Most notable is his personal and profoundly compassionate work with the Special Olympics. Richard has traveled the world photographing these inspiring athletes for over two decades.
