- Lot Description
Abelardo Morell (Cuban/American, b. 1948)
Mother and Son, Gardner Museum, 1998. Signed "Abelardo Morell" l.l., titled, dated, and numbered "...#1/30" in pencil on the verso l.r. Gelatin silver print, sight size 17 3/4 x 22 1/4 in. (45.2 x 56.6 cm), matted, framed.
Condition: Good.
N.B. In 1998, Morell was an artist in residence at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Many of the works that he created during the residency are visual pairings created within the confines of the camera. For this body of work, he created photographs with multiple views by only exposing a portion of a sheet of film at a time. After the initial exposure, he repositions the camera to complete the composition with additional exposures. Throughout the residency, Morell worked closely with staff from throughout the Museum to produce works that put the collection into a contemporary dialogue. For one, Morell pairs a self-portrait by Rembrandt with a staff member on the maintenance crew. In another, the groundskeeper that is responsible for upkeep of the courtyard's gardens is combined with a garden tapestry that hangs in the Little Salon. Mother and Son, Gardner Museum, is one of these such photographs. Here Morell visually links two works of art in the collection that are physically and historically disparate to create a new singular view of religious icons.Condition
Condition: Sheet size 20 x 23 7/8 in. Frame size 24 3/4 x 28 3/4 in.
