One Of A Kind Kiri Te Kanawa AUTOGRAPHED Large Christian Steiner Photo & Jewelry

  

For the real Kiri devotee, this is an original color photography taken by Christian Steiner in 1986. It measures approximately 16" by 16".

It was a photo shoot for the cover of the Gershwin album. It is a slightly different photo than the one used on the cover. I worked on the photo shoot including renting the voided velvet shawl and bringing the jewelry. The fake pearls belonged to my mother who died in 1984. One strand is 53" long, one strand is 80" long. There is also the rhinestone brooch which has seen better days. Some of the stones are missing.

Clearly I canabalized one of the two brooches to repair the other.
