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 print measures 70 x 60 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

- Barn, New Concord (A tranquil winter scene of Barn and Evergreen in Sepia)By James BleeckerLocated in Hudson, NYBarn, New Concord pigment print on watercolor paper Available in the following sizes: 13 x 16, edition of 25 $1500 20 x 24, edition of 25 $2500 40x50, edition of 25 $6,500 This Black and White Sepia-toned print of a barn in the snow was taken by photographer, James Bleecker. The nearly monochromatic, picturesque landscape depicts an idealistic rural scene lit beautifully by 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.
