Ivan Nagy

Ivan Nagy (April 28, 1943 - February 22, 2014), classic 20th century Hungarian ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Original vintage, 8 x 10 inch glossy finish, silver-print photograph by W.J. Reilly.

A highly versatile dancer, Nagy excelled in princely roles in the 19th century classics. The chemistry and power of the partnerships he established with Natalia Makarova, Gelsey Kirkland and Cynthia Gregory at Ballet Theater and on tour with Margot Fonteyn defined his career.

Single-weight photograph, with photographer identification on verso in ink. Very good condition, aside from minor dings to edges.
