About the Item
Steppin' in High Fashions, Colorado is a Photographic Color Print on Hahnemuhle paper in this size of 20" x 24" in an edition of 20.
Michael Ormerod was a British photographer with a distinct and powerful voice, whose career was cut short on 7 August 1991 when he was killed in a road accident on his last field trip to the USA.
Known for his striking and evocative images capturing American landscapes and urban scenes, his work depicted the raw, gritty reality of life in post-industrial boom America, but Ormerod was nonetheless able to capture the beauty.
The photographs are understated, but show an unseen America, where the industrial heartland is decaying, highways stand empty and towns are deserted. The subjects of Ormerod’s work are the disenfranchised, their expressions unreadable.
Since his death, Ormerod has received two posthumous solo exhibitions: the first, at the eponymous Zelda Cheatle Gallery in London, held to coincide with the release of his book 'States of America'; the second, held by Sheffield Graves Art Gallery in 2003.
In 2010, Crane Kalman Brighton Gallery mounted a solo exhibition of Ormerod's work. Since then, never-before-seen images have been discovered in Ormerod's archive, and together with Millenium Library and Ormerod's daughter, Ali, Crane Kalman Brighton was honoured to be able to present this entirely unseen selection of work by Michael Ormerod as the recent solo show 'Vanishing Point', which was held in October 2024.
Steppin' in High Fashions may be available as a 30" x 40" Photographic Color Print in an edition of 10; please contact the gallery for more information and a unique link to the listing.
Please bear in mind that lead times are expected between 10-15 days.

Michael Ormerod
Michael Ormerod was born in Cheshire in 1947. He lived in Newcastle but spent many years traveling to America. Fascinated by the American image, and following in the footsteps of Robert Frank, Ormerod took to the American West to find a washed-out dream of capitalism. His images capture a strange juxtaposition of an American beauty tainted by a hidden sense of menace and corruption. Inverting the famous Hollywood sign, Ormerod photographs a Texaco sign from the back, dominating the empty, Western landscape. His photographs are those of the outsider, constantly traveling through a no-man’s-land. Ormerod’s book, States of America, was published shortly after he died to mark an exhibition held at the Zelda & Cheatle Gallery, London. Since then, only one major exhibition of his work has taken place in Sheffield in 2003. A reappraisal of his powerful and uncompromising chronicle of America is long overdue.
