About the Item

Williamsburg Brooklyn New York Photograph: The historic Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn photographed by celebrated New York street photographer Fernando Natalici. This work was shot just prior to this Williamsburg, Brooklyn landmark's demolition in 2015. A timeless and classic Williamsburg, Brooklyn photograph if there ever was one. Archival inkjet print. Print size: 13 x 19 inches (including boarders). Hand-signed on the front from an edition of 5 A/P's. Very good to excellent overall condition. Crisp colors. Obtained directly from artist. Lot 180 is a primary dealer rep of Fernando Natalici. 'First built in 1855 by the Havemeyers, the refinery survived a fire in 1882, endured a couple changes in ownership, and underwent a rapid expansion, becoming the largest such complex in the world. Only 25 years after it opened, the factory refined more than half of the nation’s sugar. In 1900, the refinery changed its name to highlight its Domino brand, whose iconic illuminated sign would later light up the Brooklyn skyline with a star dotting its “i.” The complex grew to occupy more than a quarter mile of Williamsburg’s waterfront and at its peak in the 1920s, the factory had the capacity to refine 4 million pounds of sugar daily and employed 4,500 workers. The thousands of employees, who made their living at the factory and lived in the areas surrounding it, cultivated the neighborhood’s early development and became an integral part of Williamsburg’s history.' (The Smithsonian) About the artist: New York based photographer Fernando Natalici is best known for his iconographic documentation of the downtown Manhattan art scene of the mid/late 70's and early 80's. Natalici’s portfolio includes sought after images of a young Patti Smith, Blondie, Talking Heads, The Ramones and more. As an Art Director, Fernando has played a key role in creating memorable visuals for historic NY venues such as CBGB's, The Mudd Club, Area and Danceteria. Fernando’s art design featured in the Jeffrey Deitch curated show “Area” at The Hole Gallery NYC in 2013, with his film stills from "Unmade Beds" & "The Foreigner"- two of the most significant underground films of the 1970’s New York Punk scene, exhibited at The Museum of The Moving Image in 2015.
