Matthew Houston (1961) - Untitled (Studio Nude)

Matthew Houston, Untitled (Studio Nude), a. 1990ies.

Polaroid 8"x10", unique. Stamped on verso and on the reverse. Numbered 3/8. Comes with a certificate of authenticity by the artist himself.

Good condition.

Quoting from the artist:

From a series of Polaroids begun in the late 1990s. The studio, a sailing ship from 1920 moored in London, England, also served as a venue for regular theatre and cabaret evenings. The little stage I built was part of the studio and I began to make photographs of performers, friends, actors and models.

The Polaroid material used for these photographs is paper-based, and known as peel-apart, available in 10x8", 5x4" and 3x4" formats until the early 2000s when it was discontinued. Not to be confused with the 'integral' Polaroid material now being manufactured by Polaroid Originals.
