Samuel Field
Orthochromatic Negative (Antique Olivetti Typewriter)

1987

About the Item

This bold graphic piece fantastically captures the iconic Italian Olivetti Typewriter. This artwork is a limited edition of 25, lustre photographic print Accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. We can provide framing on request (black or white box (shadow) frame) which including delivery is an additional £375/ $500 . This artwork can be purchased in bespoke sizes, just get in touch. Be sure to look at his other artworks listed on 1stDibs as they are great paired for interior design projects. Photographing in the eighties, in a time of flux and change for the country, Field seems to have sought out the last vestiges of a country that was being reconstructed, hardened and sold off. Feeling a sense that certain places and people may soon be consigned to the pages of history, Field was compelled to capture what he saw around him. The ordinary and the everyday became the backdrop for his images, what we now know today, portrays a more innocent time. A wry smile and a nod to the traditions of documentary photography provide the backbone for these glimpses of the recent past. Yet they are not designed to be a Lewis Hine-esque campaign for social reform; with the passage of time these photographs have become a rich and valuable reference paying homage to a lost era.

  • Tempus Fugit
    By Phil Marco
    Located in New York, NY
    Face mounted Plexi. Aluminum Braced. Archival Print. Humorous, conceptual subject matter. ABOUT THE ARTIST Marco studied fine art at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. New York Times photography critic Gene Thornton called Marco “a Minimalist, whose images are sensual, whimsical, often surreal, always strong, and deceptively simple.” “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Phil Marco on a number of my films. Phil is a man of extraordinary talents. It seems that his passion is to take an everyday object or event, and show it in an entirely new and exciting way.” Martin Scorsese. Phil’s work is represented in MOMA, The Museum of the Moving Image, and The George Eastman Museum of Photography. His first photographs were studies for his paintings, before he launched a career in print advertising. He eventually became a Director / DP for film and television for a vast base of national and international clients with his wife Patricia as Partner and Producer. In the 1980’s and 90’s Phil was the go to person for Special Effects in Television and Cinema, also best known for his graphic conceptual still lives, and his consummate mastery of lighting, and design. He’s won many awards for his work, including numerous Cannes Lions, Cleo’s, a Grammy for his print work on the legendary “Tommy the...
