Jacobson, Bill
#3839. From: Double Exposure. 2000/2001. C-print on vellum. 26.5 x 30.5 cm (48.5 x 54.5 cm). Signed, dated, numbered and inscribed on the reverse. - Overall in very good condition. A magnificent print with a soft, harmonious colour effect.
One of 45 copies. - Published by Edition Schellmann, Munich/New York. - This work depicts a bustling New York street canyon rendered in the characteristic blurring typical of Bill Jacobson: passers-by and building façades dissolve into streaks of motion, whilst the architecture remains a dark mass, barely discernible. Jacobson, who has consistently worked with photographic blur since 1989, draws on the fragmentary nature of human memory; for him, the precision of the camera is not a measure of reality. The print appeared in the portfolio *Double Exposure*, which brings together photographic diptychs by 14 artists and conceptually interprets the term ‘double exposure’ as the idea of pairing two photographs.
