About the Item
"Pheasant Feathers" (1976) by Olivia Parker is a hauntingly elegant gelatin silver photograph that captures the delicate texture and motion of feathers arranged within a gridded shadow box. Known for her poetic still lifes, Parker transforms everyday organic materials into meditative compositions that blur the line between natural history and fine art. In this monochromatic image, individual pheasant feathers are suspended in light and shadow, their forms appearing to float or swirl within their confined compartments. The soft focus and subtle tonal range highlight the fragile beauty and intricate structure of each feather. The result is both scientific and surreal—an evocative exploration of impermanence, memory, and the ephemeral nature of life. Signed and dated by the artist, this vintage print exemplifies Parker’s celebrated approach to constructed photography and her mastery of light, form, and atmosphere. From a private collection. Dimensions: 5"h x 7"w (framed). In very good condition.
Olivia Parker is a renowned American photographer celebrated for her evocative still lifes and poetic visual narratives. With a background in art history and painting from Wellesley College, Parker transitioned to photography in the 1970s, quickly gaining international acclaim for her intricate, contemplative compositions. Her work has been exhibited at major institutions including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Parker’s photographs are held in the permanent collections of over 50 prestigious museums, including the Getty Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Throughout her career, she has received numerous accolades, including a National Endowment for the Arts grant and awards from the Society for Photographic Education and the Photographic Resource Center. Her distinctive vision—balancing scientific curiosity with poetic sensibility—has made her one of the leading figures in contemporary still life photography.
