Fahey's Anodyne for Infants

About the Item

The artist photographed the medicine bottle for her Remedies and Cures series (from her personal collection) in total darkness, and "painted" it with a flashlight during a 30 second exposure. The images from the still life series are printed using a carbon printing process on archival cotton rag paper, resulting in one of the most archival prints available today, and in an extraordinary range of subtle tones. Belcher is best known for her haunting and spartan still life compositions, series of nude self portraits, and nature scenes, that arise though both planning and happenstance, from primitive hand made pin-hole cameras, and hi tech digital cameras. She holds to the idea that everything we experience in life is stored somewhere in our bodies and that essence shows itself in the photograph. The carbon print is 17 x 11 inches. Professionally framed in solid ebony stained walnut wood with archival museum matting. The frame's outer dimension is 20 3/4 x 16 inches. Ed 1/10. Artist signed and titled Verso. Condition is pristine. Alyson Belcher's photographs have been featured in International photography magazines, exhibited coast to coast and collected worldwide.

  • Columbia Ice Field / color photography
    By Robert Von Sternberg
    Located in Burlingame, CA
    Climate change, traffic, construction cone dots a landscape of ice in this provocative museum matted Archival Pigment Print - photograph from Robert Von Sternberg who has lived and worked all his life in Los Angeles County, identifying human incursions into the natural world as a recurring theme at the heart of his photographic practice. Von Sternberg is drawn to capturing images of man intruding on nature more than any other and this is the visual thread that runs through the body of his work. Avid travelers, von Sternberg and his wife Patricia are especially fond of road trips, where the photographer delights in the offbeat side of the American touristic tradition. Far from focusing on the most canonical or scenic destinations, the artist seizes on the visual possibilities of overlooked roadside attractions and chance conjunctions. The surreal artificial lighting that illuminates the American nighttime often provides the "definitive photographic images - which sometimes also include the photographer himself. More often, though, von Sternberg captures scenes in which human figures are distant or absent. In this, his decisive moments are very unlike the densely populated ones pictured by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Still, Von Sternberg's roadside moments are crowded despite their ostensible vacancy. Through the roads, fences, signage, buildings, and all the other material structures of civilization, humanity marks the land; even in our bodily absence, we make our presence insistently known. Image captured digitally. Von Sternberg prints his own images on a 3880 Epson professional printer using archival Epson Ultrachrome pigment inks. Moab Juniper Baryta cotton rag paper stock, which is archival / 100 yrs. Papers are 13 x 19 inches. Outer dimension of the museum matting: 17 ½ x 23 ¼ inches. Robert Von Sternberg's photographs are collected worldwide and included in some of the world's most prestigious public and private institutions. 'Columbia Ice Field' is including in the permanent collections of the following Museums. Boca Raton Museum of Art, Boca Raton, Florida Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, California Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, California Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, Norman, Oklahoma Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona Beach, Florida Mt.
