Railroad Crossing. 1984. Cibachrome print, printed 1985, mounted in photo corners in the original mat. 19,7 x 19,7 cm (sheet 25,4 x 20,3 cm). Signed, titled, dated, and editioned “4/25” by the photographer in ink on the verso; signed, dated, titled, and numbered by the photographer in pencil on the mat cover. - - Robert Cottingham is known for his paintings and prints depicting the urban American landscape, with a particular focus on building façades, neon signage, movie marquees, railroad heralds, and storefronts. Although often associated with Photorealism, Cottingham has consistently rejected the label, positioning himself instead within a broader tradition of American realism, alongside artists such as Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, Edward Hopper, and Charles Sheeler. Beginning in the late 1960s, he incorporated photography into his working process as a tool for observation and composition, while maintaining a primary interest in the subject matter itself - often described as Americana. – A few surface scuff marks in black margins, otherwise in very good condition. - - Sollten Sie detailliertere Zustandsberichte wünschen, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. / Should you need more detailed condition reports, please contact us.
