Description

Robert Longo

American b.1953-

 

Untitled (Janet from the Men in the Cities series);

 

archival pigment print in colours, signed dated 1981-2016 and numbered 36/100 in black pen, published by Texte zur Kunst, 35.8x45.5cm, (unframed)

 

Note: Robert Longo's "Men in the Cities" drawings were inspired by a scene in Fassbinder's experimental noir "The American Soldier," wherein a character who is shot appears suspended in a sublime moment of violence. Here, Longo contributes to Texte zur Kunst's edition program with a piece directly related to this series, distilling "Men in the Cities" (and the innumerable images it spawned) into a single photograph selected from the set he shot to produce the original drawings. The photo, featuring a friend of the artist, was taken on Longo's roof around 1980, a newly deindustrialized Manhattan skyline defining the horizon line.
