Digital C-print, 40 x 50 inches, Printed in editions of 7 with 3 APs. Luhrig Augustine Gallery.
Luhrig Augustine Gallery is presenting photographer Joel Sternfeld's images of the High Line in New York before it is redeveloped. The works will be presented at the Art Dealer's Association of America's, Art Show in New York whom with the gallery has a long relationship with, this month. The work represents the preservation done in an attempt to save it by The Friends of the High Line who engaged Sternfeld to document it. As I mentioned in a previous post the project is currently in its second stage and as you can the photographs are a nostalgic look at why the magical location was saved in the first place.
