1963 – Salisbury, Maryland, USA
This photograph, captured in 1963, immortalizes an iconic scene from 1960s America. A towering « Holiday Inn of America » sign, with its vivid colors, stands proudly under a perfectly blue sky. The bold typography, the illuminated star at the top, and the decorative arrows epitomize the visual aesthetic of major American motels of the era, where every advertising detail seemed designed to attract travelers from the rapidly expanding highways.
In the foreground, an elegant 1960 Ford Thunderbird with futuristic lines and the distinctive tailfins of the time is parked in front of the sign. The car, a symbol of modernity and social success, contrasts with the peaceful rural backdrop, adding a touch of sophistication to the setting.
The composition and the saturated color palette recall the style of renowned photographer Stephen Shore, a master of vernacular photography and American urban landscapes. Shore captured everyday scenes and the defining elements of American popular culture with documentary precision.
Part of the private collection of André Robé, an avid collector of vernacular slides from the 1950s to 1970s, this photograph offers a window into an era when the American road trip and motels symbolized freedom and adventure.
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.
