About the Item
Madeleine de Proust (Proust's Madeleine), Paris 2021 by Roberta Fineberg is a contemporary photography panorama on cotton rag paper (archival pigment print). The art is 20.5" x 26.5" with a window mat. Signed, dated, titled on recto (front of photo) by the artist. Edition of 3, 1 a/p A photograph of a Parisian garden is reimagined with repeating geometric patterns and textures to mimic an optical illusion. The symmetry and contrast between the sepia-tinted and black-and-white images reveal perhaps a poetic divide between past and present, old and new, ephemeral and enduring. For the artist the two inverted quadriptychs evoke memories of smells, tastes, sounds, and sensations of “things past.” Beginning with a "distressed" sepia-toned photograph of the Palais Royale shot in 1990 by the photographer, she juxtaposes in scanning the original black and white photograph with a scanned version of the distressed photograph for a conceptual trompe l'oeil. The coloration reminiscent of 19th century photography becomes a contemporary repurposed variation on up-cycling. Provenance: RF Studio *** Artist's Bio: As a visual artist, Roberta Fineberg (RF) focuses on the themes of serendipity, inventiveness, and the development of ideas for her photography, video, installations, works on paper, and painting. Drawn to experimentation, she explores diverse mediums and concepts such as the ephemeral (Butterfly Series), stolen moments (documentary photography), play, timelessness, the enduring, and the significance of matter. RF, living in New York City, began her career as an editorial photographer while studying in Paris. In France she contributed both photography and writing to publications, landing a column (photos and text) with The Saturday Review while exhibiting photographs in public spaces. Roberta Fineberg’s freelance photography appeared in Le Monde, Jeune Afrique, Paris Match, L’Officiel Femme, Ms, Weltwoche, Vanguardia, among others with images licensed through stock agencies. Photographs were selected for cover art at W.W. Norton, St. Martin’s Press, Harcourt, Bookspan, Simon & Schuster, etc. Print Regional Design Annual New York (2003) awarded her for book jacket photography for If Wishes Were Horses. In 1997 Macmillan published City Riders: A Story of Riding and Friendship her first book of black-and-white photographs and a story about three teenage girls in the 1990s who rode horses at the now-defunct Claremont Riding Academy and oldest stable in New York City. In 2023, RF created an interactive installation, works on paper on the female body, in a public space. In July 2022, Fineberg’s Double Helix was included in a Sotheby’s auction in New York City and exhibited in the preview show Contemporary Discoveries. Selected exhibitions include Time Gallery New York (2022), Phyllis Harriman Gallery New York studio shows (2020, 2022), CADAF online art fair (2020), Gallery122 New York pop-up group show (2018), Curate NY online group show (2013), Paris Photo: Photos, Femmes, Feminisme group show (2010). Fineberg’s photography is in private and public collections, including portraits of women writers at the Bibliothèque Nationale and Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand in Paris, France. She was awarded 15 laurels (2020-2023) from independent film festivals worldwide for her experimental video, You Will Never Beat New York (2020).
