Miles Davis at home, Upper West Side, NYC, Platinum Print by Glen Craig
Signed limited edition 11×14” platinum print of Miles Davis outside his home, Upper West Side, NYC, 1970 by Glen Craig
Miles Davis lived in a townhouse on West 77th Street for 25 years. It was both his home and a creative space, and it was where some of his most important albums were composed including Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew. It has been designated as a New York City Landmark, and in 2014, the block on which the house is located was renamed Miles Davis Way.
Neighbors grew accustomed to seeing Davis and other music legends, such as Herbie Hancock and Dizzy Gillespie, coming and going from the building. In spite of his wealth and fame, Davis was a common presence among his neighbors, and often sat outside in a space nicknamed "Talk Stoop," with friends to pass the time.
In 1970, Glen Craig was hired to capture images of Miles for an upcoming spread in ZygoteMagazine, a feature designed to help expose Davis to a more mainstream audience. He spent three weeks shooting Davis in various locales including at home, at the gym, in the studio, and on stage.

Platinum printing, also known as platinotype, is a fine art photographic printing process that creates images with exceptional tonal range, permanence, and a distinctive matte finish. Platinum printing stands as the definitive pinnacle of fine black and white photography. It involves coating a fine art paper with a solution of platinum and/or palladium salts, then exposing it to light with a negative in contact. The process yields a print where the image is composed of finely dispersed platinum and palladium metal embedded within the paper fibers.
