Artist: Pete Turner (American, 1934 - 2017). Title: "The Future". Medium: Vintage color photometalgraph. Date: Composed 1975. Printed 1975. Dimensions: Overall size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). Image size: 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. (184 x 184 mm). Lot Note(s): Signed in the plate. Intended edition of 950 (of which all were printed?). High-grade white Chromecoat coated archival paper. Full margins, as issued. Fine, quality printing. Fine condition. Comment(s): Very scarce. Quite possibly printed in a run of far less than the 950 proposed. The printing was derived from a high-resolution negative produced from the SX-70 camera. In an effort to show that the SX-70 could successfully compete with traditional analogue cameras and film as a fine art medium, the company gave cameras plus a generous stock of film to leading photographers of the day. Their output was then published by the Polaroid Corporation. Image copyright © The Estate of Pete Turner. [24692-3-300]
