Lot description
Crissy, Jesse, Linda, and Dean Damm in their car, Los Angeles, 1987 Mary Ellen MARK Taken in Los Angeles in 1987, this photograph portrays an American family living in their car during a period of growing social and economic instability. Commissioned by LIFE magazine, the image forms part of Mary Ellen Mark’s broader documentation of marginalized communities in the United States. Often compared to Dorothea Lange’s iconic 1936 photograph Migrant Mother, the image reflects the resurgence of hardship following the stock market crash of 1987. Mark’s empathetic approach and close engagement with her subjects result in a powerful visual testimony of vulnerability, resilience, and the human cost of economic decline.
