Darren Almond. Fullmoon. Art Edition 'Moonbow' Edition of 60 + 15 APs
US$2,500.00
This **Art Edition of 60 numbered copies (No.1-60), each signed by Darren Almond, comes with a signed C-print_Moonbow@Fullmoon _(2011)**, photographed from the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Fall during a full [moon]. In _Fullmoon_, the conceptual meets the poetic: in more than **260 photographs**, British artist Darren Almond catches landscapes around the globe, under the particular light of a full moon. With the **shutter kept open for over a quarter of an hour**, rivers, meadows, mountains, and seashores are illuminated almost like daybreak, but the atmosphere is different: a mild glow emanates even from the shadows, star-lines cross the sky, and water blankets the earth like a misty froth. The enhanced moonlight infuses the landscapes with a sense of the surreal or the sublime, and with haunting** ideas of time, nature and beauty**. The series circles around the possibility of Romantic themes today: majestic **American mountains**, austere **Arctic ice fields**, picturesque rocks by the **seashore in Japan**, and, most intimately viewed, the **nature of Britain**, whose painterly subjects are closest to home. This book covers all parts of Almond's fullmoon series from the turn of the century up until today. It features an introduction by **Sheena Wagstaff,** head of the Modern and [Contemporary Art] Department of the **Metropolitan Museum** in New York, and an in-depth essay by writer and critic **Brian Dillon**. **Also available in two additional Art Editions, with alternative C-prints.**
