Butterfly Blue, Contemporary Color Photography on Aluminum with Float Mount

2016

About the Item

Butterfly Blue, 2016 by Roberta Fineberg is a 20” x 18” contemporary archival dye-sub print on aluminum titled, dated, signed by the artist on verso (back of art). Edition of 10. From the transformative to the ephemeral, the birth and death of a butterfly is reimagined in RF's photo series based on a poem by the 13th Century poet Rumi: ‘Whatever you know, or don’t - only love is real’. The artist explores the natural and man-made world in which a caterpillar breaks free of its skin for a metamorphosis. Hatching into an exquisite creature, the vibrant Butterfly Blue sips nectar from flower to flower during a short sweet life... Provenance: RF Archive Ships framed. *** 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.

  • Capitol Theatre Lobby (Contemporary Photograph of an Abandoned Interior)
    By Elliott Kaufman
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Contemporary color photograph of the interior of an abandoned theater 35 x 25 inches unframed 41.5 x 31.5 inches in white wood frame with AR non-glare glass This contemporary photograph of an abandoned theater interior was captured by New York based photographer, Elliott Kaufman, in 2005. Here the artist highlights the beautiful fading facade of the once renowned Capitol Theater in New London, CT. The photograph is complimented with a custom white wood frame measuring 41.5 x 31.5 inches. There is wiring on the back for installation. About the series: Elliott Kaufman conveys the haunting magnificence of forgotten buildings in the Abandoned series. Architectural marvels once home to heartbreaking operas, spectacular gatherings, or a loving family now sit vacant and linger in fading memories of the past with each new crack of paint, crumbling brick, or falling beam. Through his lens, Kaufman captures the remnants of these majestic structures, romanticizing what once was for viewers in the present day. This series won 2nd place in the ASMP National Competition.
