1987

About the Item

This bold graphic piece fantastically captures the iconic Italian Olivetti Typewriter. This artwork is a limited edition of 25, lustre photographic print Accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. We can provide framing on request (black or white box (shadow) frame) which including delivery is an additional £375/ $500 . This artwork can be purchased in bespoke sizes, just get in touch. Be sure to look at his other artworks listed on 1stDibs as they are great paired for interior design projects. Photographing in the eighties, in a time of flux and change for the country, Field seems to have sought out the last vestiges of a country that was being reconstructed, hardened and sold off. Feeling a sense that certain places and people may soon be consigned to the pages of history, Field was compelled to capture what he saw around him. The ordinary and the everyday became the backdrop for his images, what we now know today, portrays a more innocent time. A wry smile and a nod to the traditions of documentary photography provide the backbone for these glimpses of the recent past. Yet they are not designed to be a Lewis Hine-esque campaign for social reform; with the passage of time these photographs have become a rich and valuable reference paying homage to a lost era.
