About the Item

A woman with black Louboutin heels, only black tights, and a black Birkin bag lying under a Rolls Royce car was photographed by Tyler Shields in 2022. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Mechanics of Luxury is a surreal portrait in which a figure appears to be working beneath a Rolls-Royce, but with an ironic twist—the figure is wearing Louboutin heels, carrying a Birkin bag, and wielding a wrench. The image juxtaposes luxury with labor, challenging traditional notions of class and gender roles while incorporating Shields' signature elements: high-end brands, provocative poses, and social commentary. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision.
