About the Item

High Line at 19th Street (Iconic Architectural Detail on Manhattan's West Side) by James Bleecker Contemporary sepia toned photograph of New York City's High Line, the iconic raised walkway in Manhattan's west side neighborhood archival pigment print on watercolor paper, unframed & made to order 24 x 20 inches, edition of 25 Also available in the following sizes: 50 x 40 inch paper size, ed. of 15, $6500 70 x 60 inch paper size, ed. of 10, $11,500 This sepia toned cityscape photograph was taken by Manhattan native, James Bleecker. The architectural detail highlighted in this image is part of the steel columns that raise New York City's most beloved raised walkway, known as the High Line. This famous New York City landmark is visited by thousands on a regular basis to enjoy the views and lounge areas away from the traffic of the street below. Bleecker zeroes in on the architectural details of the steel studded columns, creating a composition that has qualities of an abstract painting. The street sparkles with a fresh rain and a street light glows religiously on the street corner. The print measures 24 x 20 inches and is made to order. Additional sizes are also available. Artist Statement: The High Line’s transformation from el-train to elevated park was just underway in 2007. Inch-thick steel plates studded with rivets brought to mind the hull of an old ocean liner. Shouldered by new glass buildings, the rusting High Line dug in its heels and refused to budge. I wanted to photograph the giant before it was subdued. "Not only does James beautifully document this complex project, he captures a sense of the tragedy of 9/11 and the uplifting spirit of the new construction and the reclaiming of the skyline." – David Childs, architect of One World Trade Center More about the artist: James Bleecker photographs the landscapes and architecture of his native New York State. Since 1983 his work has spanned independent fine art photography and commercial architectural photography. Much of his work has been commissioned by museums and historic preservation groups in the Hudson River valley. About James’s work, Edgar Munhall, Curator Emeritus of The Frick Collection, has written, "James's work is powerful and mature. Rigorously composed and technically perfect, his photographs can reduce you to tears by their beauty."

  • Ankony Farm ( Contemporary Rural Landscape Sepia toned Photograph with Barns)
    By James Bleecker
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Ankony Farm pigment print on watercolor paper 13 x 16, edition of 25 $1500 20 x 24, edition of 25 $2500 This Sepia-toned print of Ankony Farm was taken by photographer, James Bleecker. The photograph depicts the barns on a farm in Rhinebeck, New York. The light reflects beautifully over the landscape, shining through an overcast sky. Artist Statement: These photographs span the last decade of nearly four that I have worked in the Hudson River valley. While I have photographed landscapes, towns and cities, I have chosen a selection of rural scenes for this show. All are in Columbia County except “Allee,” (Tuxedo Park) and Quimby Farm (Marlborough). My photography spans four decades of living in the Hudson River Valley. While my Dutch ancestors settled here early - Bleecker and Verplanck are common place names - I don't know what, if any, pull that fact exerts. Certainly I'm attracted to the layers of time exposed here; in ancient stone walls, leaning barns, faded mansions and mill towns. The valley exudes boom and bust, love and leavings.
