Estimated value: $2,800 to $3,360 Photograph, Pigment Print. Image Size: 28x34cm Edition 01 of 01 Best known for Apollonia Müller's exceptional photographic investigation of urban landscapes in Los Angeles, here Apollonia offers an exceptional analog photograph that has never been published or exhibited. Griffith Observatory presents a view from Griffith Park Observatory, offering a unique perspective on Los Angeles. The image embodies Apollonia's interest in capturing the city from elevated viewpoints, evoking a sense of romanticism reminiscent of Caspar David Friedrich's paintings. As a newcomer to Los Angeles, Apollonia experienced a sense of unfamiliarity and adjustment while creating this piece, reflecting the stark contrast between her native Germany and the sprawling, unpredictable landscape of LA. This underlying tension adds a layer of personal narrative to the photograph, hinting at the artist's process of acclimating to a vastly different urban environment and lifestyle.
