About the Item

Masters: Golfing by the Sea. From Dietzel's DREAMLAND series. Medium sized Archival Pigment print is Ed. 1/3 - 27 x 39 inches / Frame outer dimension is 28 x 40 x 2 inches. Contemporary white powder coated wood frame and all archival and UV materials used throughout. The work of German photographer Nina Dietzel oscillates between intense, fast-paced photojournalism to intimate, behind-the-scenes portraiture of some of the worlds leading contemporary artists. Some of Dietzel’s diverse projects include photographing Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, collaborating with British sculptor and environmentalist Andy Goldsworthy, documenting the making of the exhibition @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz, and capturing the complex fabrication process of Mark di Suvero's sculptures at his studio in Sonoma County, California. Working digitally for her professional assignments, Dietzel's artistic practice is one firmly rooted in the analog, reliant on a vintage, medium-format Hasselblad camera and the physical manipulation of the film it produces. For Dietzel, working with the exceptionally designed Hasselblad allows for the deceleration of time, making room for a meditative process by which a deeper relationship between the photographer and her subject can be cultivated. This slow, sustained engagement offers a refreshing counterpoint to the deluge of harried, digital snapshots with which we are inundated daily, a poignant reminder that if we don’t take the time to slow down, we may just miss the magic. Diztzel's Dreamland series captured the abandoned yet still enduring quality of a wild space in transition: the Salton Sea. In her 2007 book Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics, writer Rebecca Solnit studies how places are shaped by human desire: “And then there are the ruins, the prisons, the radioactive lands, the endless battles between this country’s myriad factions, each of whom is in one way or another storming the gates of paradise, trying to get inside their vision of a better world.” Dreamland considers how the Salton Sea embodies one such vision of paradise, the ecological legacies of human development on the land, and the future of this temporarily human-dominated landscape. The fate of California’s biggest lake is historically and environmentally complex. Though fluctuating water levels have shaped the area for thousands of years, the Salton Sea formed following the rupture of a manmade canal in the early 1900s, flooding an area between Southern California’s Imperial and Coachella Valleys. Located about 160 miles east of Los Angeles, and fed by the Colorado and other rivers, the accidental lake was made into a bustling tourist hub in the 1950s. Agricultural runoff and drought contributed to the Salton Sea’s evaporation, causing salinity to skyrocket, and devastating fish and wildlife populations. Without conservation efforts, a bare, dry lake floor could result in dust storms reaching Palm Springs and beyond, and birds would lose a crucial stop on their migratory path. Assessing the Salton Sea within a geologic and ecologic timescale, then, is a fitting framework for understanding the place and a lens through which to interpret the images in Dreamland. There is a distinct sense that the manmade vestiges of the Salton Sea are being gradually swallowed back into the land: nature is taking over where humans left off. As years pass, the landscape’s visual information—evidence of its glory days—further decomposes and is obscured by harsh conditions. The washed-out hues of palm trees, cracks of baked-earth, coiled lengths of hoses, and a few remaining structures and trailers dot an ambiguous landscape that could be other places in the United States. In this way, Dreamland conveys a tension between anonymity and specificity in a particularly evocative example of modern humanity’s failed efforts to alter the natural landscape. In conversation with other bodies of work depicting the Salton Sea, Dreamland can be seen as a post-industrial record of the American West. American photographer Richard Misrach’s work depicts a mid-eighties Salton Sea, not long after tourists abandoned the resort, when the human-built environment—partially-submerged houses, street signs, trailers and trucks—was still clearly and eerily at odds with nature. Dietzel’s intimate desert still lifes comprehend the aesthetic nuances of the ever-increasing precariousness of the Salton Sea thirty years later, and critically contemplates human-precipitated and naturally occurring imprints on the land, the beauty in transitional spaces, and an awareness of how we connect to a place.

California Dreaming by Frank Schott from a series of photographs capturing the Golden State's vast desert landscapes of the Sierra Nevada 48 x 72 inches / 122cm x 183m edition of 7 signed 27 x 40 inches / 68cm x 102cm edition of 25 signed archival quality fine art pigment print limited art edition published by Edition EKTAlux artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity ________________________ Frank Schott grew up in Germany and attended the prestigious Academy of Arts in Cologne, studying under Professor Arno Jansen, who was an early influence. Moving to California in 1998, Schott's work has evolved to include the epic landscapes and deserts of the American West as well as architectural, conceptual and more formal environments from both home and his travels. Influenced by a number of photographic peers and precursors such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, Michael Wolf, Gregory Crewdson, William Eggleston and Joel Sternfeld, Schott's images successfully blend technical, conceptual and formal rigor with a decisive sense of composition and color. Schott's images have an iconic sensibility and give us a bird's eye view onto humanity and its constructs. The specific is edged towards the abstract, often revealing the compelling and disjunctive moment where nature meets man. Frank Schott was born in Cologne, Germany in 1962.

California landscapes - CA 3 -Large photography framed, ready to install
By MAE Curates
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a series of photography of California, USA, from various photographers, which we constantly add to. We highlight the various aspects of California: its raw, natural beauty, with its vast expanse of land, clear blue sky and natural light. It is also a metropolis, given to a sense of freedom – to love and re-invent yourself as you please. It is also ancient land – land where dinosaurs roamed, Native Americans called home, Spanish explorers charted its land for more discovery of this gem. In modern times, environmentalists and residents fought to protect the land, setting landmarks in environmental and consumer protection. California leads the nation in many ways- the first to lend itself to causes: the freedom to love whomever and be whomever we want, welcome new peoples with warmth and entrepreneurship, be at the forefront of clean energy, invent new technology that changes the way the world lives and work, and the protection of our Earth. It is La La Land...
