About the Item

Fly Geyser, Black Rock Desert, limited edition photograph, signed, archival ink The terrain of the Black Rock Desert, Nevada is an area that I have always wanted to explore. In November of this year, I finally got the chance. The area is sparsely inhabited with the largest town being Gerlach - population of 100. Humans have inhabited the Black Rock Desert since approximately 11,000 BC.. The large black rock formation was used as a landmark by early settlers and emigrants that initially crossed and settled in the area. At its base is a large hot spring and grassy meadow, which was an important place for those crossing the desert headed for California and Oregon. In the mid-1800's John Fremont and his party were the first white men to cross this desert. That trail be was used by over half the 22,000 gold seekers headed to California after 1849. This history of the early settlers has always intrigued me. During the time I was there the temperatures varied wildly. I saw 50 and 60 degrees during the day.... but as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon the temperatures dropped quickly. Within 15 minutes temperatures would move from the mid-50's to between 10 and 15 degrees. The image describes (more then I can in words) my experience of the landscape of the Black Rock Desert. Its a rugged, isolated, beautiful, geothermal active desert landscape. --Mitch Dowbrowner

Please inquire if you would like to purchase an unframed print for a reduced rate. Available for local pick up at our Los Angeles gallery. Jim Krantz Epic Western III, 2019 40 x 68 inch chromogenic print Edition 3 of 5 Signed on signature label. Artist Biography - Krantz occupies a unique place in the history of contemporary art for his imagery blending western landscape photography with the figure of the cowboy as depicted and romanticized in American popular culture. The technical underpinning of his work was established when he studied with Ansel Adams and Paul Caponigro, but perhaps more importantly, Krantz’s work reflects a dictum that he learned from Adams: “Technical proficiency leads to artistic freedom.” His range and versatility are his forte, working with ease in demanding and ever-changing conditions. If Krantz’s work looks familiar, it is not surprising. Krantz, had been documenting the cinematic vistas of the American West for 20 years on commercial assignments and these much published images caught the eye of appropriation artist, Richard Prince, known for re-photographing advertisements and presenting the resulting images in a new “conceptual” context. Prince’s most famous series is his large scale reproductions of the cowboy images...
