The Man with a plastic bag, Grand Central Station, New York
May 2013 – New York, NY, USA
In this black-and-white photo of New York’s Grand Central Station, the men and women, frozen in their frenetic rush, seem to be in too much of a hurry to take the time to admire the grandiose architectural work that surrounds them.
Indeed, the starry ceiling, artistic details and majestic proportions of the hall seem almost overlooked as they speed through the space.
This reinforces the idea of a city life where time is precious, every second counts and appreciation of architectural beauty often takes a back seat to the imperatives of the day.
The motion blur effect, resulting from the frantic pace of hurried men and women, reinforces the atmosphere of liveliness and urgency.
Passers-by, immersed in their own world, walk rapidly through the hall, creating a visual dynamic that conveys the ceaseless energy of city life.
Overall, the photo captures the duality between Grand Central Station’s architectural grandeur, carefully restored to preserve its heritage, and the daily frenzy that drives this iconic New York space.
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.
