About the Item

Marie Craig's "Everybody had a Bad Year" is an original montage of four hand-colored deep blue photographs of a tropical leaf. This piece was created using cyanotype, an early photographic process which uses sunlight to expose specially treated paper producing a striking indigo-toned image with high contrast and detail. The photograph was then hand-colored using neon pigments. The 20 x 16 x 1 inch composite photograph is is surrounded by a white matte and framed in a white wood frame; framed dimensions are 26.25 x 22.25 x 1 inches. The photo is signed on the back by the artist. Marie Craig is an award-winning Boston-based contemporary fine art photographer. Her work collectively glorifies objects that were once imbued with life but have since been abandoned. Craig is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

    By Richard Corman
    Located in New York, NY
    Richard Corman Keith Haring 1 - NYC, 1985 (hand signed twice), 2022 Photographic print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultrasmooth paper mounted on Dibond aluminum board. (Hand signed and numbered on both the front and back of the board) Hand signed and numbered 1/10 twice (front and back) and also titled on the back by Richard Corman Frame Included: gorgeously housed in a wood frame, hand painted in orange This photograph of Keith Haring was taken in 1985 at his 676 Broadway studio, by celebrated photographer Richard Corman while on assignment for L'Uomo Vogue. By that time, Corman had already taken some of the most memorable and iconic photographs of Madonna and later Basquiat - so it was fitting that this stylish Italian publication would choose him to photograph Keith Haring - already a major New York art star at the time. Corman's iconic photograph of Haring was reprinted in 2022 in a limited edition, and was featured in the exhibition "I Shot The Messenger!" - a solo presentation of his work at Frevo in New York City from September 11 to November 11, 2022. It is held in a bespoke wooden frame hand painted in orange. This gorgeous print is signed twice: Richard Corman signed, titled, dated and numbered one of only ten (1/10) on the back in black marker, and also boldly signed and numbered in black marker on the front. A video of the artist signing this work will be provided to the purchaser. (see still photos of Corman signing this work.) Measurements: Frame: 41.5 x 38.25 x 2 inches Photograph: 40 x 36.75 inches Exhibition History: "I Shot the Messenger", Frevo Gallery, New York, New York, 2022 Richard Corman speaks on his first encounter with Keith Haring: "To my surprise, when Keith answered the door, this unassuming building revealed to me a labyrinth of finished and unfinished artworks, bursting with color. I was familiar with Keith's graffiti in the subway stations, his murals, and the unique language of his art which raised awareness of AIDS and fought against the infiltration of illegal drugs. However, while positioning him around the space and working to capture something special during our time together, I realized this person was undeniably an original. His calm presence defied his free spirit, which revealed itself as he placed himself in front of my camera. These images offer up a glimpse at the confidence and price that Keith had in his own unique language for communicating his message to the world." About Richard Corman: While Richard Corman’s photography varies widely in subject matter, it is always intensely focused on the infinitely varied expressions of the human spirit. Ken Burns, documentarian and director, describes Richard’s work as: "Artistic vision dedicated to the highest aspirations of human endeavor... the photographs record in big moments and small, among the famous and ordinary, the gifted and challenged, larger truths relevant to all of us." As a portrait photographer, Corman has worked with a thrilling breadth of subjects from Nobel Peace Prize recipients Nelson Mandela and Elie Wiesel...
