Did he ever sell prints made from his Commercial Negs, or did he pretty much just print the "Landscape" stuff.?
I have esen quite a few of his commercial pictures online and maybe a few in magazines over the years, but did he ever print and sell then.
I have not seen any in a gallery.
They might be worth a fortune.
Thank You

As i look at many of my photo books, it is interesting to find pictures taken by "Famous Photographers" that are not of the genre they were so well known for....I was really surprised by some of the fashion greats like Bailey and Duffy who shot cool photos that were not fashion.
I really dig the Ford Motors photos of Rouge Rive that Charles Sheeler was commissioned for.

Despite the fanboys and collectors, who reduced him to "famous" AA was actually a highly skilled industrial and artificial light studio photographer, typical of many in his era. Naturally those prints were owned by his clients, not him. Few have seen his many Polaroids because they didn't look.

A few of his commercial works and many of his portraits have been included in his collected works, he owned the negatives, would have needed a model release for the portraits be be reprinted, although going 50 to 60 years later, who would mind? For the most part his commercial work would have a limited appeal, technically very good, but the subject matter, some industrial building, a cement plant, the interior not all that appealing. Photographers who were know for a particular type of work still had to make a living. AA shot many his landscapes with a grant or grants from the Dept of Interior, which is why so many national parks are included in his collected work. His negatives are stored at the University of Arizona Center for Creative Photography, not sure who decides what images are reprinted, the U of A or his estate.
