This is just a great original piece. I have been a fan of Martin Schoeller photographs since many years ago when I first saw his portraits. He is one of the finest 21st Century photographers and his work is recognizable where ever you see it. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This is an original photograph from his Athletes series. It is an incredible photograph 8 kids in various stages of tumbling on the Woodward Gymnastics Camp. This photograph was actually published in the New Yorker Magazine back in 2000. Photograph on sheet measuring 16 x 20 inches it is in perfect as printed condition. From an edition of 10 it has the artist's original studio certificate with the details as well as his blindstamp and signature on the back. Really a stunning presentation of this great photograph. Frame measures 17 x 21 inches.

For those not familiar with the photographer his biography from a gallery that sells his work reads: "Celebrated photographer Martin Schoeller's distinct method for creating his striking large-scale portraits involves getting up close and personal with his subjects. Characterized by his models' unflinching, direct gazes, which meet the eyes of the viewer and then hold them for eternity, his Close Up photographs, often presented in larger than life sizes, offer raw and revealing glimpses into his subjects, exposing them in a way that feels almost unforgivingly truthful. Schoeller (b. 1968) has captured such famed faces as Jack Nicholson, Cate Blanchett, and Angelina Jolie, political figures including Bill Clinton, and incumbent president, Barack Obama. In his tightly cropped representations, his models face him squarely, even despite the blaring studio light he turns in their direction. His method, he has explained, involves taking many, many photographs until he manages to catch his subject at an honest moment, ideally when his or her guard is down—and he thereby exposes in them something viewers would not otherwise witness. “The pictures that survive over the years are ones where you see something of somebody that they normally wouldn’t share so easily,” he says. “Something intimate, honest. I don’t believe you can capture the soul of someone, but there are pictures that are more honest and ones that are less honest.” See less
