About the Item

18"x24" limited edition historic photograph, edition 1/5. This photograph depicts a man-made island was built as a quarantine station to house immigrants arriving at Ellis Island with symptoms of contagious disease. Established in 1873, the buildings were demolished 1961 and it is now a bird sanctuary and part of Gateway National Park. Phillip Buehler is a New York based photographer who documents the deterioration and remnants of neglected architecture constructed in the recent past. In the series “No Man is an Island...” Buehler has photographed the historic, and also often forgotten islands, around New York City. Some of them, like Ellis Island, loom large in their impact on history, culture and existence in the national identity. Others, like “Rat Island,” a privately-owned 2.5 acre islet north of The Bronx, with an unusual statue of William Tell (and nothing much more), are known about by virtu- ally no one. Buehler received his BA at Rutgers University and his MFA in photography at School of Visual Arts. Phillip Buehler has been featured in Art in America, The New York Times, Art News, The Art Newspaper, Wall Street Journal, American Photo Magazine, The Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Gothamist, The Guardian, The Sun, ABC, CNN, and numerous other publications.
