    • BRUCE CHARLESWORTH / Fate Series #33 (1987)
      Jun. 13, 2021

      BRUCE CHARLESWORTH / Fate Series #33 (1987)

      Est: $300 - $500

      Bruce Charlesworth (Iowa, b. 1950) #33 (Fate Series), 1987 Cibachrome print 16" x 16" Presented behind plexiglass in a black frame that measures 26 3/4" x 26 1/2". Of the Fate series, Charlesworth explained, "I've always been interested in transitional spaces like corridors, waiting rooms, elevators, alleys and highways, as well as the interiors of cars and airplanes. The things that are meant to happen in those spaces are also transitional, or could be thought of as non-events. The imagery of  Fate invites a wider narrative interpretation than Trouble. As in the previous series, scenarios are isolated from each other, photograph-to-photograph. The man in the black suit is as much a perpetrator as a victim of circumstance. He falls backward into a hallway, watches a volcano erupt, reads the want ads, climbs through debris and has a drunken vision of pink cartoon rabbits." Literature: Private Enemy - Public Eye: The Work of Bruce Charlesworth, 1989, Aperture Publishing (pictured) Provenance: From the corporate art collection of a Kansas City based Fortune 500 company.

      BRUCE CHARLESWORTH / Trouble Series #10 (1983)

      Est: $300 - $500

      Bruce Charlesworth (Iowa, b. 1950) #10 (Trouble Series), 1983 Cibachrome print 16" x 16" A seminal Charlesworth image, used as the cover of  Private Enemy - Public Eye: The Work of Bruce Charlesworth (1989, Aperture Publishing). Presented behind plexiglass in a black frame that measures 26 3/4" x 26 1/2". Of the Trouble series, Charlesworth explained, "With this series of photographs, I let go of the linear narrative of the previous photo-novellas. The connection between images comes from their visual style and situational equivalency, and from the near-constant character in the black suit. Although the scenes were carefully staged and in some cases built to be seen from particular vantage points, many of the poses were improvisational." Provenance: From the corporate art collection of a Kansas City based Fortune 500 company.
