About the Item

Series: Afterlife-New Jersey Shore Print Type: Selenium, Sepia, & Iron Toned Gelatin Silver Printed on Bergger Prestige Fiber Based Paper Matted & Mounted 8ply Museum Board Available Sizes: 22" x 28" Edition of 3 + 1 AP 32" x 40" Edition of 10 + 2 AP 42" x 54" Edition of 3 + 1 AP Point Pleasant, New Jersey In 2008, I started to document the amusement piers that skirt the New Jersey Coast Line during their most vacant moments (usually between the hours of 4 and 6am. The images were predominantly shot on the Funtown and Casino Piers in Seaside Park & Seaside Heights New Jersey. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy rolled in and completely destroyed both piers. The landscape was forever altered. These images chronicle the final days of these Piers, as well as what remained of the piers after the hurricane. This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with. Your certificate of authenticity will be shipped separately from your print and in most cases will ship directly from the gallery. Trimper Gallery is more than happy to provide clients with the next available edition number however, the Trimper Gallery can only guarantee the specific edition number the client will receive once payment has been received.
