About the Item
Punctuated by documentary photo essays such as Black in White America, Fire Hydrant is one of Leonard Freed's most iconic in the Harlem, New York series.
Two children enjoy a blissful moment in summer of 1963: an opened city hydrant sprays water on the children, smiling joyfully as water soaks them entirely. The photo captures a moment of celebration, joy, and simplicity in a childhood spent on the steamy asphalt streets of New York City in the 1960s.
Fire Hydrant, Harlem, 1963 by Leonard Freed is a 24" x 20" gelatin silver photograph signed by the photographer on verso (back). Provenance: Freed estate
LITERATURE: W. A. Ewing, N. Herschdorfer, and W. van Sinderen, Worldview, Leonard Freed, Steidl, 2007, p. 127.

Leonard Freed
Leonard Freed was born on October 23, 1929, in Brooklyn. Although Freed's photographic career is defined by documentary photo essays, such as Black in White America, Freed traveled extensively and captured people, places and things that interested him in locations around the globe. A Magnum photographer, Freed traveled widely, photographing African Americans in America from 1964–65, events in Israel from 1967–68 and in 1973 and the New York City police department from 1972–79, to name a few celebrated assignments. Freed’s coverage of the American civil rights movement made him famous, although he continued to produce photo essays on New York, Italians and many other subjects. Leonard Freed worked as a freelance photographer from 1961 until his death on November 29, 2006, Philipstown.
