FLATIRON BUILDING 1 – NEW YORK CITY, USA | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Flatiron Building 1 is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing the iconic Flatiron Building in Manhattan, New York City, USA. The composition reveals the architectural elegance of this historic skyscraper, where its distinctive triangular form rises against a luminous sky, framed by the delicate silhouettes of bare tree branches.The monumental Flatiron Building dominates the composition, its richly detailed façade and precise geometric lines contrasting with the intricate organic forms of the surrounding branches. The interplay between architectural structure and natural elements creates a carefully balanced visual relationship, while restrained monochrome tones, subtle tonal transitions and generous negative space emphasise the building's sculptural character, lending the photograph a timeless, contemplative quality.
Photographed in 2017 and printed in 2017 as a traditional gelatin silver print on baryta paper, the work reflects Berghammer's minimalist approach to architectural photography, emphasising precise composition, refined tonal control and the evocative relationship between architecture, light and atmosphere. Through careful visual reduction, this iconic New York landmark becomes a contemplative study of geometry, urban elegance and the passage of time.
This original print, Edition 2/9, has previously been exhibited and is offered as the existing physical artwork in its original presentation. Signed, numbered and dated, the photograph is housed in a handmade black wooden frame with a natural-white archival mount and anti-reflective glass offering 70% UV protection. The framed work is ready to hang and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Available through the SILVERFINEART Exhibited Art collection, it offers collectors the opportunity to acquire an original exhibited artwork in its existing framed condition.
