"NY Time, 46th Street." from the photographic series "My City Recently Removed"

2020

About the Item

This color photograph by Sean Hemmerle taken in Manhattan 2020 features a woman and little dog, who have been photographed, caught, in the "decisive moment" crossing a sign, and obscuring it. Not only does this sign eclipsing change it's meaning, the composition of the photograph is mostly abstract horzontal lines created by the garage door. And also, the portly woman in the mask with a tiny dog wearing a red vest. All of this adds up to a photograph that is part NY street photograph, part bauhaus composition and part Far Side comic strip. in 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 outbreak in New York City, award winning photographer Sean Hemmerle received a call asking him if he would be willing to go out on the streets of Manhattan and photograph what they looked like during the “shelter in place”order. Hemmerle has photographed wartime Iraq, and Afghanistan, and has been to locations of strife across the globe. He has taken photos inside Sadam Hussein’s family Mansion and amongst the rubble of the World Trade Center after 9/11. He has seen a lot—but this was different.

    24"x30" will photograph, signed and editioned on reverse. (edition of 5) This photograph is from a series entitled, “(UN)THINKABLE,” the culmination of 25 years of Phillip Buehler’s work photographing remnants of the Cold War throughout the United States and Europe. Buehler has visited NATO airbases, Cape Canaveral, the Airplane Graveyard, missile bunkers and silos (even within New York City’s borders) among many other sites that are historic, and yet hidden, forbidden, and forgotten. Photographs from this series will be featured in a solo exhibition this September at the Front Room Gallery. For anyone growing up during the Cold War the sense of dread of the world’s annihilation was all to concrete. It was evidenced in films like “Dr. Strangelove” and “The Day After.” Everyone knew the U.S. had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 5 times over, and assumed something similar about the Russians. For those not old enough to remember this built in fear, don’t worry (worry) it is reawakening. We don’t need another Cuban Missile Crisis to push us to the brink, the renewed tension with the Russians, and now North Korea’s recent entry in the nuclear weapons club is more than enough to unnerve anyone who is watching these conflicts unfold. Phillip Buehler is watching closely. Through this comprehensive series Buehler’s photos show many aspects of this non-war war. In Buehler’s aerial photographs from a military airplane storage yard in Arizona the repetition of the same model of bomber aircraft are so abstractly pattern-based that the overall effect beginnings to feel like a Middle Eastern...

    24"x 30" photograph, edition of 5, signed on reverse. This photograph is taken at Greystone Park Hospital, in an area of the building where snow has drifted into the abandoned complex.

Many, like Greystone Park Hospital, have since been demolished; some, like Ellis Island and the High Line, have been restored, and some, like the S.S. United States and the New York State Pavilion, are now in jeopardy. Photographs from the (now demolished) Greystone Park Hospital are featured in this exhibition and in the book “Wardy Forty” which he wrote in 2013 about the last days of Woody...
