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 photograph that has never been published or exhibited. Jurupa is a striking photograph captured during one of Apollonia's early morning drives to Riverside, where she was teaching. The image features a prominent elephant sculpture visible from the freeway, a familiar sight on her regular commute. On this particular morning, Apollonia noticed the perfect lighting conditions illuminating the scene - a rare occurrence in this typically haze-free area. Seizing the moment, she pulled over to capture this fleeting visual harmony. The photograph required significant effort and dedication, as Apollonia had to hike for an hour and a half through challenging terrain, navigating fences and high mustard plants, to reach the ideal vantage point. This image exemplifies her unwavering commitment to her craft, showcasing her ability to recognize and immortalize those rare, perfect moments when light, landscape, and atmosphere align. It stands as a testament to Apollonia's artistic vision and her willingness to go to great lengths to achieve the perfect shot.
