About the Item

Ilulissat 04, 07/2014 - Olaf Otto Becker (Landscape Colour Photography) Signed on reverse Archival pigment print Available in four sizes: 25 x 29.5 inches, from an edition of six 43.75 x 52.5 inches, from an edition of six 58.5 x 70.75 inches, from an edition of three 72 x 88 inches, from an edition of two Ever since his first visit to the Arctic in 2003, the photographer Olaf Otto Becker (b. 1959 in Travemünde, Germany) has returned there again and again. Starting in Ilulissat, one of the oldest settlements in western Greenland, Becker and his camera have traveled by boat on the polar sea, looking for icebergs. Like floating giants, the white mountains jut out of the water, their many majestic shapes reflected in it below. In their peaceful sublimity there is always also a sense of fragility, as he himself says: “For me, icebergs are wonderful temporal sculptures created of their own accord, yet at the same time they are also natural monuments, reminders of the continuing process of climate change, which we humans are now influencing to a great extent for the first time in the history of our planet.”

The joyful colors are juxtaposed against the hard lines of a monochromatic Manhattan skyline. While simultaneously, they are echoed in the brightly colored outfits of ice skaters and little league...
