David Halliday
Rope and Plant Stand (Silver Toned Gelatin Print Still Life in Vintage Frame)

2017

About the Item

Rope and Plant Stand, 2017 43" X 17 1/2" mounted archival pigment print, ed. 1/5 This vertical sepia toned silver gelatin print still life of a Rope and Plant Stand was printed by photographer, David Halliday in 2017. Standing upright against a white wall, the still life becomes almost portrait-like. The subject is striped down in a way that adds interest to the small imperfections of the vintage plant stand, and the humble materials like the plywood floor and aged rope against the wall with an electrical outlet. The rectangular formatted sepia tone photograph is complimented with a custom black stained wood molding that has visible wood grain with an 8 ply antique white mat and AR non glare glass. About the work: David Halliday reaches into his archives of images to compile a selection of both sepia toned photographs mixed with more recent color works; each are iconic representations of the most ordinary objects of everyday life. Together they represent a fading essence of things quintessentially ‘American’. For the artist, beauty and nostalgia are pervasive, but lamentation has its role as well. About the artist: David Halliday first gained renown for his sepia-toned silver prints of elegant, meticulously-composed still lifes. His more recent color work maintains the same intimate and simple beauty but also creates a visceral connection for the viewer. Like a painter, he emphasizes volumes, balances, texture and areas of subtle shading. Born in Glen Cove, New York in 1958, Halliday attended Syracuse University and pursued further studies under the tutelage of Arnold Newman. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. In 2002, the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans exhibited a retrospective of his work and in 2012, he exhibited at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans. Halliday’s work is included in numerous public and private collections including the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the New Britain Museum of Art.
