About the Item

JOHN CHAMBERLAIN [Untitled] 2002 Ektacolor Professional print taken with Wide Lux camera Unsigned AP 1/2, apart from an edition of 9 20” x 24” Chamberlain began to explore photography in the late 1960s, but it wasn’t until 1977 when fellow American sculptor Larry Bell gifted him a Widelux camera, that Chamberlain hit upon a device that would offer the cinematic properties of film with the portability of a camera. His approach to photography and subsequent inks on canvas mirrored themes present in his sculptures, hinging on compression and expansion. Chamberlain viewed the camera as a catalyst for self portraiture, an extension of him or his body, often holding the camera at arm’s length and shooting blind to preserve intuition and spontaneity. The Widelux camera functioned with a pivoting rather than fixed aperture, allowing for panoramic captures. In combination, the resulting images are stretched and distorted; abstracted forms and streaks of light are a direct result of the artist’s hand, Chamberlain reshaping the world through his own experience. This unsigned photograph captures the glowing light of a large chandelier at the center of the composition with swirling lights circling it, created by Chamberlain’s fluid technique. The movement and distortion of the lights convey a sense of movement and energy, creating a mesmerizing display of illumination. Chamberlain’s photography mirrors themes present in his sculptures, hinging on compression and expansion. At once, both mediums offer a distinct expression of Chamberlain as an artist as well as a lens through which to read his entire body of work.
