About the Item

Bushfire Lit to Clear Land, Australia, 2008 Olaf Otto Becker Signed on reverse Archival pigment print Available in three sizes: 24 3/4 x 29 1/2 inches – edition of 5 43 1/2 x 54 1/4 inches – edition of 5 Ever since his first visit to the Arctic in 2003, the photographer Olaf Otto Becker (b. 1959 in Travemünde, Germany) has returned there again and again. Starting in Ilulissat, one of the oldest settlements in western Greenland, Becker and his camera have traveled by boat on the polar sea, looking for icebergs. Like floating giants, the white mountains jut out of the water, their many majestic shapes reflected in it below. In their peaceful sublimity there is always also a sense of fragility, as he himself says: “For me, icebergs are wonderful temporal sculptures created of their own accord, yet at the same time they are also natural monuments, reminders of the continuing process of climate change, which we humans are now influencing to a great extent for the first time in the history of our planet.”

Epic Western No. 38
By Jim Krantz
Located in New York, NY
Listing includes free shipping for unframed prints in the continental U.S. and a 14 day return policy. Jim Krantz Epic Western No. 38, 2020 40 x 60 inch chromogenic print Edition 5 of 7 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...
