About the Item

Black Birkin Bag pulled between a Hand and Woman's Mouth with red Background, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2021. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery With Black Birkin, Tyler Shields takes one of the world’s most coveted luxury items—the Hermès Birkin bag—and transforms it into a visceral exploration of desire and excess. Set against a bold red background, the image features a hand gripping the bag’s handle, while another figure bites into the leather, evoking themes of hunger, power, and material obsession. The glossy, crocodile-textured surface of the bag gleams under the light, reinforcing its status as a symbol of ultimate luxury. With its stark contrasts and provocative composition, Black Birkin invites the viewer to question our fixation on status symbols and the lengths we go to obtain them. As always, Shields pairs visual allure with a sharp commentary on contemporary culture, making this piece as striking as it is thought-provoking. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision. PREISS FINE ARTS celebrates 15 years of successful collaborations with only the most esteemed photographers and collectors. Defining the photographic landscape from the start, we reshaped Fine Art Photography.
