The Virgin Mother, a massive 35-foot tall, 13.5-ton take-off on Degas' famous sculpture of a young dancer by Damien Hirst depicting a pregnant female human, with layers removed from one side to expose the fetus, muscle and tissue layers, and skull underneath, was purchased by real estate magnate Aby Rosen for display the courtyard of of one of his properties, the Lever House, on Park Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, in March, 2005. In 2006, Hirst made a second copy of The Virgin Mother for installation at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Damien Hirst (born June 7, 1965) is an English artist and the leading artist of the group that has been dubbed "Young British Artists" (or YBAs). He dominated the art scene in Britain during the 1990s and is internationally renowned.

Death is a central theme in his work. He is best known for his Natural History series, in which dead animals (such as a shark, a sheep or a cow) are preserved, sometimes cut-up, in formaldehyde. His iconic work is The Physical Impossibility Of Death In the Mind Of Someone Living, an 18ft tiger shark in formaldehyde in a vitrine. Its sale in 2004 made him the second most expensive living artist (after Jasper Johns).

Entitled: Young Mother Carrying A Child On Her Back In The Market, Hong Kong Island [c1946] H Morrison [RESTORED] Minor spot and scratch touch up, contrast and tonal adjustments, with a purposeful lower contrast background to provide better visual separation, and a final sepia tone.

Hedda Morrison was a tremendous resource for images from the latter part of the Republican China years, photographing extensively with a 2 1/4 Rolleiflex Twin Lens (my personal roll film favorite) during her 13 year stay in China (from 1933 - 1946). Coincidentally, she then married into the family of and bears the name of another very famous China photographer; she married George Ernest Morrison's son, Alastair in 1946. Besides photography in China, she was also known for a large body of image work in Malaysia and Australia (where she died in 1991). Her husband, generously donated her life's work, divided between Harvard University and Australia's Power House Museum of Science & Design.

One of Morrison's most iconic photographs, this image was found on Harvard University's VIA (Visual Information Access) Search Engine under Record Identifier olvwork351276.
