About the Item

Palm Springs Palm Trees II (Californication) - 2016 50x50cm, Edition of 10, Archival C-Print, based on the Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Artist Inventory Number 19078. Not mounted. A German view of the American West The works of Stefanie Schneider evoke Ed Ruscha's obsession with the American experience, the richness of Georgia O'Keefe's deserts and the loneliness of Edward Hopper's haunting paintings. So how exactly did this German photographer become one of the most important artists of the American narrative of the 20th and 21st century? Stefanie Schneider's use of Polaroid film in her art is well known and highly regarded by many. When Polaroid announced in 2008 that they would be discontinuing the production of their iconic instant film, many artists and photographers were devastated. Dr. Florian Kaps, an Austrian entrepreneur and Polaroid enthusiast, decided to take action to save the last remaining Polaroid production plant in the world. Kaps was inspired by Schneider's work and her passion for Polaroid film, and he saw the potential for a new market in instant photography. He launched The Impossible Project, which aimed to continue producing Polaroid film and eventually acquired that last Polaroid production plant in the world, and today it continues to produce instant film. Stefanie Schneider's influence on the preservation of Polaroid film cannot be understated. Her dedication to the medium helped to inspire Kaps to take action and ultimately led to the continuation of the instant film production. While there have been other instances of artists influencing the preservation of a medium, Schneider's impact on the Polaroid film industry is unique and significant.
