Marco Walker
Hotel California

2024

About the Item

This work is an archival giclée print sold unframed. Edition of 24. An edition of this work is currently exhibited at The Beverly Hills Hotel (9641 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210) until January 15, 2025. British, LA-based photographer and visual artist Marco Walker has been commissioned by The Beverly Hills Hotel to reflect on its historic legacy, landscape and architecture, creating a new body of work featuring a series of portraits of the hotel through his lens. This series will open a new chapter of the hotel’s cultural legacy with Walker documenting California’s most iconic and notable establishment through his singular point of view. This will be the first time an artist has been given access to the hotel with a direct commission from the hotel for a portrait series featuring the hotel. Artist’s Statement: ‘If these walls could talk’ perfectly embodies the feeling I had while walking through the corridors, bungalows, gardens, and every corner of this iconic institution. I felt an abundance of inspiration in every detail, from the hotel suites to Fountain Coffee, imagining the characters who have passed through and the stories lived and told. I hope the spirit and allure of this historic landmark lives on in this body of work. It was an honor to document the hotel as the first artist commissioned for this project. Using rare film and alternative photographic techniques, I embraced the challenge of capturing the essence of this previously very-well documented hotel in a new light.

By Frank Schott
Located in San Francisco, CA
Golden State II by Frank Schott a photography study of a rare desert botanical phenomenon, California's "superbloom", a rare desert botanical phenomenon in which an unusually high proportion of wildflowers whose seeds have lain dormant in desert soil germinate and blossom at roughly the same time, exploding into endless fields of golden yellow poppy flowers 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. He currently lives and works in San Francisco...
