Chicago Viaduct #6 | Black and White Urban Fine Art Print

Price range: $210.00 through $895.00

All images and content copyright Archival Prints LLC and Skip Gleichman.
“Chicago Viaduct #6” is offered as a custom fine art black and white photographic print, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

I captured this urban landscape with a Fuji Digital Medium Format Camera and an ultra sharp Contax 645 80mm Planar lens.
This image was taken on a during the first hint of actual Spring day in April. The street sweepers had been through recently leaving the pavement clean of winters debris. This gritty urban scene, captured under the tracks on Peoria, features time worn street art murals that offer contrast to the textured pillars and arched girders of this wonderful viaduct. The Peoria Viaduct offers the “grit”, urban decay and lighting I seek in my viaduct images. The large detailed prints of this image are stunning and are an adventure to examine at length.

I carefully composed this extreme wide angle with a medium format 35mm lens and then captured nine detailed images to produce the final large format 1:1 aspect ratio print file. Using the flat field 80mm lens to compose this image yielded a print file without any distortion, in correct perspective. Square print sizes to 50″ x 50″ are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances.

This limited Edition Print will be Signed and Numbered. Pricing includes the print only with a white border and includes free shipping unless otherwise noted. This Print Requires Framing (see detailed info below).

Description

Limited Edition, fine art custom black and white photographic print, “Chicago Viaduct #6” was shot as part of an ongoing monochrome study of the Peoria Viaduct in Chicago, Illinois.

 This image was captured in Fuji digital medium format with a Contax 645 80mm Planar lens and stitched from 9 images. Print sizes to 50 x 50, and larger, are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances. All images are what I saw with only color, brightness, shadow and contrast & local light and shadow adjustments, just as I did in the darkroom. 

This is a museum quality fine art print in black and white.

    Included in Your Print Purchase:

  • Pricing includes the print only, shipped flat to 16 x 20 or rolled in a tube mailer for larger sizes.
  • Framing, Presentation and Preservation:

  • All prints will require a frame, glass and backing material that matches print size. (Frames usually come 1/8” oversized to accommodate the glass, print and backing, please verify.)
  • Borderless Framing (meaning no cut mat board): All prints include a white border containing the number and signature.
  • Again, the white borders of the print assure that a cut mat board is not required for framing an Archival Print.
  • Acid Free white foam core is a good choice for backing in .25” thickness. An Acid Free mat board is optional between the backer board and the print.
  • Glass Options (“the Glazing”): Classic AR Glass, Museum Glass or other UV glass or a UV Acrylic as the “Glazing” (again meaning Glass) is highly recommended for UV protection and to protect the print. Classic AR Glass and Museum Glass are Anti-Reflective which greatly enhances viewing the print.
  • No spray or coating is required or recommended on any of our prints, please refrain from any such treatment.
  • Other Framing Options: We can help with the framing in several molding styles and glazing options or steer you in the right direction for the perfect framing materials that assure archival print endurance.
