Stroll
1960’s – New York, USA
This photograph, captured in the 1960s on 8th Avenue in New York, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city during a time when everyday life seemed to pause in unexpected tranquility. A woman in a colorful dress, representative of 1960s style, strolls along the sidewalk. The architecture, restaurant signs like the « Pinoy-Pinay Restaurant », and hotels such as the « Hotel Rio » reflect the multicultural and dynamic character of the neighborhood.
Surprisingly, the image reveals sparse traffic, a rarity for such an iconic avenue in New York, leaving an almost surreal sense of calm for this typically bustling metropolis. A few period-specific vehicles, such as a Chevrolet Impala and a Ford Galaxie, are parked along the street, visually grounding the scene in the 1960s.
The composition and natural tones evoke the style of renowned photographer Stephen Shore, known for capturing everyday American scenes with documentary-like precision.
Part of the private collection of André Robé, an avid collector of vernacular slides from the 1950s to 1970s, this photograph captures an ordinary moment that, through its simplicity and unusual calm, becomes a timeless work of art.
The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
