One of Cunningham's most celebrated and iconic images, Two Callas, was included in the important exhibitions Film und Foto in Stuttgart in 1929 and in Photography 1839-1937 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1937.
According to Lee Witkin, 'For years, the negative of this, one of her most beautiful images, was misplaced. Cunningham discovered it again in 1973 and was able to make several prints of it before her death in 1976' (The Photograph Collector's Guide, p. 7).
It appears that only one other early, non-vintage print of this image has ever appeared at auction, in the sale of Photographs from the Collection of Joseph and Laverne Schieszler at Sotheby's, New York, October 10, 2005, lot 8.
