Catherine Opie
Alaska Landscape #3

2007

About the Item

Catherine Opie (b. 1961) is a renowned American photographer best known for her bold portraits, mysterious landscapes, and thought-provoking explorations of identity, gender, and societal norms. In addition to her work across portraiture, Opie has made significant contributions to the landscape genre. While it may appear as a departure from her usual subject matter, Opie's landscapes are mystically personified, representing the integral role of place within a larger social narrative. "Alaska Landscape" captures a seaside cliff's intense, mountainous terrain. The frame overflows with rich, saturated colors and lustrous lighting that lends a distinct painterly quality to the composition. This piece is part of a larger series by Opie, which captures the diversity and sublime quality of the Alaskan landscape. Opie's work is celebrated in public collections across the globe including the National Portrait Gallery (London), Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), and the Museum of Fine Art (Boston), among others. Questions about this piece? Contact us. Visit our Toronto gallery on Thursdays or by appointment.

  • Through the Woods
    By Peter Doig
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    In 2007, Peter Doig (b. 1959) became a household name when his painting “White Canoe” sold for $11.3 million at auction, setting the record at the time for the highest auction price by a living European artist. And if that number sounds surprising, his paintings continue to surpass that record; most recently in November 2021, when "Swamped" sold for $39.8 million at auction. Sales records aside, by the age of 50, Doig had major retrospectives at the Tate Britain, the Paris Museum of Modern Art, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. Needless to say, he is an artist with major international acclaim. Doig’s imagery has attracted fans from all corners of the world. Not surprisingly, the artist has been influenced by his own international experiences, having lived in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Trinidad. "Through the Woods...

  • Landscape Study #7, Utah, USA
    By Edward Burtynsky
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of Canada's most successful photographers. A noted filmmaker, entrepreneur, and environmental advocate, Burtynsky is known internationally for his large-scale images documenting the interaction of industry and natural resources. Through photography, he charts geological and social histories through periods of global industrial change. His images present tension between beauty and desecration. Shot in 1983, this dynamic photograph comes at the very beginning of Burtynsky's career, just one year after completing his BA at Ryerson Polytechnical School (now Toronto Metropolitan University) in 1982. The photograph is framed by an intimate close crop, an atypical vantage point for Burtynsky who is best known for his breathtaking aerial perspectives. Brimming with rich foliage and an equally lustrous palette, this photograph has a unique painterly quality that serves as an excellent output from the first chapter of the artist's career. Burtynsky's work can be found in over 50 museum collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Guggenheim, The MoMA, and the Tate Modern. Questions about this piece? Contact us.
