Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, recently separated from his wife in 1977, was reportedly miffed that protocol forbade him from bringing a date to a G7 dinner at Buckingham Palace that May. After the formal group portrait had been taken and the dignitaries dispersed, Doug Ball saw Trudeau remain in place. Surprisingly, he did a single pirouette behind their backs, and Ball was the only witness.
That night, Ball processed the negative and made a small print, which he circulated amongst those on the government plane the next morning. Eventually it made its way into Trudeau’s hands, who chuckled at the sight of it, and slipped the photograph into his belongings. This photograph is part of a limited edition, each printed one at a time, signed by the photographer and numbered sequentially once printed.
This work was printed circa 2010. The full sheet size is 16 x 20 inches.
Please note: this work is unframed.
