About the Item

Bed, 1992 Still Life Photograph of Mahogany Canopy Bed in a Bedroom by David Halliday Sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition of 15 Custom brown wood shadow box frames, no mat with AR non glare glass. Artist signature in lower right corner 4.5 x 4.5 inches paper size, 8.5 x 8.5 inches framed Photographer David Halliday is well known for his intimate still lifes of common household objects. This square sepia toned silver gelatin photograph features a stunning Mahogany canopy bed and was photographed by c fan on a side table and was printed by David Halliday in 1992. This intimate glace into a private bedroom reveals the stunning structure, dark beams add contrast and structure to this quiet image. By calling attention to overlooked objects of ordinary domestic life, Halliday romanticizes a fading small town, rural America. The small, square formatted sepia tone photograph is complimented with a natural wood shadow box frame with no mat & AR non glare glass. About the work: David Halliday reaches into his archives of images to compile a selection of both sepia toned photographs mixed with more recent color works; each are iconic representations of the most ordinary objects of everyday life. Together they represent a fading essence of things quintessentially ‘American’. For the artist, beauty and nostalgia are pervasive, but lamentation has its role as well. About the artist: David Halliday first gained renown for his sepia-toned silver prints of elegant, meticulously-composed still lifes. His more recent color work maintains the same intimate and simple beauty but also creates a visceral connection for the viewer. Like a painter, he emphasizes volumes, balances, texture and areas of subtle shading. Born in Glen Cove, New York in 1958, Halliday attended Syracuse University and pursued further studies under the tutelage of Arnold Newman. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. In 2002, the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans exhibited a retrospective of his work and in 2012, he exhibited at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans. Halliday’s work is included in numerous public and private collections including the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the New Britain Museum of Art.
