Mary Ellen Mark has earned her status as one of America’s best-known photographers with her iconic work about the human condition. In 1988, Aperture published Streetwise, her groundbreaking portrayal of a community of kids and teenagers living on the streets of Seattle. Mark has continued to follow the life of many of the subjects—including Tiny, depicted in this image (also the cover of the book)—ever since. Subsequent books by the artist published by Aperture include American Odyssey (1999) and Twins (2003). Mark is also a contributing editor to Aperture magazine. estimated retail value :
