Golden Gate Study 14, San Francisco, USA, Edition 2/20

GOLDEN GATE STUDY 14 – SAN FRANCISCO, USA | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Golden Gate Study 14 is an analogue black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge rising through coastal mist in San Francisco, California, USA. The composition reveals the striking relationship between monumental architecture and natural coastal formations, where the suspension bridge gradually disappears into the atmospheric surroundings.

A solitary, sculptural rock formation dominates the foreground, its dark, rugged contours contrasting with the smooth, luminous water created through long-exposure photography. Behind it, the Golden Gate Bridge stretches across the misty landscape, its precise architectural lines and distant structures gradually fading into the soft background. Restrained monochrome tones, subtle tonal transitions and carefully balanced negative space create a sense of atmospheric depth and stillness, transforming this recognisable landmark into a quiet, contemplative photographic study.

Photographed in 2015 and printed in 2017 as a traditional gelatin silver print on baryta paper, the work reflects Berghammer's dedication to analogue photographic craftsmanship, precise tonal control and minimalist visual expression. Through careful composition and visual reduction, the San Francisco coastline becomes a timeless study of architecture, nature and the evocative interplay of light and atmosphere.

This original print, Edition 2/20, 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 dark-brown 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.
