About the Item

ntroducing a captivating original vintage gelatin silver print from the 1950s, featuring the iconic Chrysler Building in New York, as captured by the acclaimed photographer Barbara Morgan. While Morgan is widely renowned for her groundbreaking images of the American modern dance movement from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, this photograph showcases her versatile talent beyond the realm of dance. Morgan's photographic approach aimed to liberate the figure within space, emphasizing singular movements and occasionally employing double-exposures to evoke a sense of slow-motion fluidity. As both an expressionist and a modernist, she delved into the realm of visual metaphors, seamlessly oscillating between realism and abstraction. This vintage gelatin silver print is a testament to Morgan's ability to transcend artistic boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on an architectural masterpiece. Whether displayed as a tribute to New York's iconic skyline or as a testament to Morgan's artistic prowess, it stands as a captivating piece of mid-20th-century photographic artistry. Photograph measures 13.5 x 10.25 inches.

Chrysler Building Through Window
By Tom Baril
Located in New York, NY
Photogravure from the Tom Baril 'Manhattan' Portfolio. Edition of 75, signed by the artist on bottom right. Framing: acid free, archival framed, cotton rag mat. Glazing: Optium museum plexi. A graduate of New York’s School of Visual Arts, Tom Baril spent over fifteen years as Robert Mapplethorpe’s master printer. His subjects include urban architecture, seascapes and meticulously detailed botanical and nature photographs. Baril’s work demonstrates a command of technique that results from his extensive experience as a master printer. Baril developed a unique toning process that enriches the color and opulence of his photographs. Tom Baril is inspired by the nature studies of modernist photographers such as Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham and Karl Blossfeldt. A similar attentiveness to the clarity of line, form, pattern and texture characterizes Baril’s still lifes. In composing the seascapes, Baril employs the traditional box camera obscura, better known as the pinhole camera...
