About the Item

A black-and-white image shot on film of architecture and a storefront window of a shoe shop in an old Paris district attracted Roberta Fineberg who was drawn to the forgotten and very French locations in 1980s Paris.

Provenance: RF Archive *** Artist's Bio: As a photographer and visual artist, Roberta Fineberg (RF) focuses on the themes of serendipity, inventiveness, and development of ideas for her photography, video, installations, works on paper, and painting. Drawn to experimentation, she explores diverse mediums and subjects such as the ephemeral (butterfly series), stolen moments (documentary work), play, timelessness, the enduring, and significance of matter.
