Robert Funk
Serene Art Deco Balcony with Nude Maiden in Manhattan's Upper East Side

2023

About the Item

Golden light pours through trees creating intermittent shadows that dance on the limestone facade of a serene upper eastside townhouse. The shadows frame a bronze relief of a nude art deco maiden who is the centerpiece of an ornate balcony. The photograph is idle yet has an understated movement as it seamlessly connects art and architecture to the environment. Signed, dated and numbered 3/15 recto, unframed, printed later, other sizes available. Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art paper. Color will vary from monitor to monitor. Robert Funk is a photographer and was a New York advertising art director for Print and TV. He was widely published in the 1970's and 1980's.

    By Robert Funk

    Besides being a pioneering staged photograph, the composition is unique as well. A five-inch cutout appears to be monumental. The subject fills the pictorial space from the bottom to the top. It dominates the vast beachscape and dwarfs the life-size figures to the lower right. By photographing a reproduction of a person on paper, Funk pushes the boundaries of portraiture in 1977.

  • Burned II (Self Portrait) - Polaroid, Contemporary, 21st Century, Portrait
    By Stefanie Schneider
    Located in Morongo Valley, CA
    Burned II (Self Portrait), 1999 Edition of 1/10, 40x40cm Print on Velvet Watercolor, 310gsm, No OBAs, Bright White, Acid Free based on an original Polaroid. Signature label and Certificate. Not mounted. Artist Inventory No 311.01. A German view of the American West The works of Stefanie Schneider evoke Ed Ruscha's obsession with the American experience, the richness of Georgia O'Keefe's deserts and the loneliness of Edward Hopper's haunting paintings. So how exactly did this German photographer become one of the most important artists of the American narrative of the 20th and 21st century? Born in Germany in 1968, photographer Schneider divides her time between Berlin and Los Angeles. Her process begins in the American West, in locations such as the planes and deserts of Southern California, where she photographs her subjects. In Berlin, Schneider develops and enlarges her works by hand. What is initially most striking about Schneider's images is the color of her Polaroid film but her role in preserving the use of Polaroid film is one aspect of her work that has gained great respect from her contemporaries and the critics, as her work came about during a time when the Polaroid, a symbol of American photography, was on the road to extinction. This theme of preservation and deterioration is a core part of Schneider's oeuvre. In an interview in October 2014 with Artnet, the artist explained how her own experiences of pain and loss inspire her. ''My work resembles my life: Love, lost and unrequited, leaves its mark in our lives as a senseless pain that has no place in the present.'' ''The ex-lover experiences the residues of love as an amputee experiences the sensation of a ghost limb.'' - Stefanie Schneider Schneider's subjects are often featured in apocalyptic settings: desert planes, trailer parks, oilfields, run-down motels and empty beaches, alone, or if not, not connected with one another. ''It is the tangible experience of ''absence'' that has inspired my work'', explained Schneider. Barnebys, May 3rd, 2017 Stefanie Schneider is a contemporary German photographer and film artist. Her work is characterized by its uniform formal aesthetic and its faded imagery, which she produces through the chemical deterioration of expired film. Schneider’s focus is on the exclusive depiction of young women living in California, clothed in retro dress and evoking nostalgic home photography or vintage film stills...
