Jim Moniger, Night Flowers 23 (1986)
Description
Jim Moniger is a photographer we are really excited about. A long-time professor at Pace University, its Fingesten Gallery held a retrospective of Moniger's work in 2017 titled, Night Flowers, A Photographic Retrospective. As the show's curator writes, "working at night with color film, the images in Night Flowers are photos of flower shop windows in New York City. The condensation on the shop windows fractures light in a way that is both beautifully atmospheric and also a prefiguration of the pixilated digital photography that emerged during his career."
These photos are indeed dreamy. We are fortunate to have a total of five; two are framed up now but you can purchase others unframed as well if you email us.
