About the Item

Archival pigment print Signed and numbered on label, verso 14 x 18.7 inches (Edition of 10) 25 x 33.4 inches (Edition of 7) 41 x 56 inches (Edition of 3) This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Departing from her daring and experimental portraiture, Jill Greenberg returns to her interest in feminist art with “Glass Ceiling,” a series in which she depicts female athletes and dancers underwater engaged in a variety of ambiguous and dynamic movements. The women wear colorful bathing suits and high heels in complimentary hues. Inspired by a commercial assignment that involved Olympic athletes in stilettos, Greenberg was struck by the absurdity of the styling. The shoes, meant to heighten sexuality, restrict movement and impose a lack of control. Greenberg then formulated her own photographs, which became “Glass Ceiling.” The tension of the models surfacing for gasps of air while wrestling with the weight of the water acts as a metaphor for the role women must play in the outside world.

Coming Back - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 23x17"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"Coming Back" captures a transformative moment in contemporary underwater fine art photography, where classical composition meets avant-garde expression. A figure in crimson emerges through a veil of ascending bubbles, creating a dynamic interplay between motion and stillness. The deep cerulean backdrop contrasts dramatically with the red fabric, while suspended air bubbles catch light like countless stars, evoking a celestial aesthetic.
