About the Item

Part of Richard Heeps 'After the Gold Rush' Collection, taken in Ely, Nevada, you are not just looking at a filling station by the roadside, this is the original stagecoach station of the Pony Express, a significant part in America's history, glamourised by Hollywood. Richard was also drawn to Ely, Nevada because of his obsession with former mining towns, and looking for similarities between Ely in his home county of Cambridgeshire and Ely in Nevada. This artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss photographic print. Accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. Free Shipping. The print is fragile and we recommend it is handled by a professional framer on receiving. We can provide framing on request (black or white box (shadow) frame) which including delivery is an additional £375/ $500. This artwork can be purchased in bespoke sizes, just get in touch. Be sure to look at his other artworks listed on 1stDibs as they are great paired for interior design projects. Richard Heeps’ seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter – be it cool, descriptive interiors, still life, portrait or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of lens-based photography without the need for digital manipulation. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he hand prints his colour photography. His work has been exhibited in Museums and Public Galleries around England, and he has participated in Art Fairs around the world, and his work is now part of many international collections.

Highway 26, Shoshoni, Wyoming; June 9, 2021, color photograph, signed
By Steve Fitch
Located in Sante Fe, NM
"Highway 26, Shoshoni, Wyoming; June 9, 2021" is a color photograph by Steve Fitch. This piece is printed by the artist using archival pigment inks and is signed. In American Motel Signs, Steve Fitch documents the changing landscape, capturing the bright neon motel signs littered across long highway expanses throughout the West. The delightful photographs in this series, map out Fitch’s extensive journey to seek out a typology of visual relics that are quickly fading into the American collective memory. For Fitch, these motel signs carry an unquestionable enchantment in their folk originality — the blocky fonts and garish designs. His work is a road trip to the past, down lonesome highways where these emblems of roadside American...
