Stepdaughters (Belgian Linen) - Limited Edition of 5 Photograph

Stepdaughters, from the series, "Naked City": “There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.” Thus the narrator frames Jules Dassin’s landmark 1948 film noir, _Naked City_. Late night, post-event. A single exposure glass reflection on the risers. A communal scene sets the stage for the inexorable climb into adulthood. Times Square, New York City. Belgian Linen Gallery Wrap: Belgian Linen Gallery Wrap: A ready-to-hang, Limited Edition on Belgian Linen. This exceptional, ecologically sustainable material imbues the photographic image with elegance, depth and superb saturation. Manufactured for centuries, archival Belgian Linen (certified at 100+ years longevity) has been favored by painters including Monet, Van Gogh and Dali. The finished display appearance emphasizes a painterly presence within the photographic work -- a balance I have long sought to capture. I am very pleased to now offer a gallery wrap piece with remarkable artistic refinement. Unlike a coarser canvas surface, Belgian Linen retains the elegance and timeless character of traditional European fine art papers. The gallery wrap requires no additional framing, expenses or difficult wall adjustments. Edition of 5 + 1 A/P and 1 P/P. Printed exclusively for the artist by Brooklyn Editions' Master Printmaker, New York City.
