Descripción del vendedor
Solo Swimmer – Pool Ladies, London, 1987
Photographer: Michael Joseph
Original photograph: London, 1987
Medium: Photographic print on aluminium
Series: Pool Ladies
Presentation: Bespoke natural wood frame
From the Michael Joseph Archive
There is something almost mythological about this extraordinary image from Michael Joseph’s Pool Ladies series.
Seen from above, a lone swimmer floats on her back, face turned upwards and eyes closed, while the water swirls around her body. She appears suspended between water and light - peaceful, statuesque and almost weightless.
For this new-generation interpretation, the photograph has been printed on aluminium, a medium particularly suited to an image in which water and reflected light play such an important role.
The effect changes remarkably as you move around the piece. Light catches the exposed aluminium beneath the image, travelling across the surface like light across water itself. Silvery passages flare and shimmer; darker areas gain depth; details of the swimmer and the rippling pool appear, disappear and re-emerge according to the viewing angle.
It gives the photograph an almost three-dimensional quality — and one that is extremely difficult to convey in a static auction photograph. This is an artwork that genuinely needs light, and movement around it, to reveal its full character.
The simple natural-wood frame provides a warm, organic contrast to the cool metallic surface, allowing the aluminium and the extraordinary fluidity of Michael’s composition to take centre stage. Its size is 70cm tall by 45cm wide.
Nearly forty years after the original photograph was made, the medium has given it a completely new presence: part photograph, part reflection, part moving light.
A serene and mesmerising Michael Joseph image transformed into a luminous contemporary statement piece.
