Andy Katz (American, XX-XXI). "Cuenca Flower Market" photograph, n.d. Edition 2 of 100. Signed and numbered in pencil below the image. A gorgeous photograph by the remarkable Andy Katz depicting a lady carrying beautiful gladiolas at the Cuenca flower market in Ecuador with an elegant stone column to her left. The woman is dressed in royal blue and ruby red garments, and Katz has depicted her from behind with one arm extended behind her back to secure the clusters of flowers. In addition to its artistry, Katz's photo invites us to ask questions and imagine the narrative; as Audrey Wells (Director, Under the Tuscan Sun) has stated, "Andy's images are as evocative as cinema. Every photograph tells an eloquent story." A beautiful photo set in a custom wood frame by an exceptional photographer. Size of image: 9.5" L x 13.75" W (24.1 cm x 34.9 cm) Size of frame: 16.9" L x 20.875" W (42.9 cm x 53 cm)
Here is what Andy Katz wrote about his South America series, "Traveling to South America, I was struck by the dazzling array of natural wonders and cultures that I discovered on the world's fourth largest continent -- the world's most expansive rainforest, the largest river, the longest mountain range, and the highest waterfall on the planet. From stunning beaches and recently excavated sites of ancient civilizations to vibrant, sprawling cities -- it all can be found here..." (artist's website)
Andy Katz is a Sony Artisan of imagery - one of the original seven photographers who represent Sony's cameras. Katz has traveled across the globe, photographing a wide range of subjects throughout his journeys - "from the deserts of Namibia to the disappearing Jewish World of Eastern Europe to the rolling hills of the California wine country." His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world as well as his own gallery in Healdsburg, California. In addition, Katz's work has been published in several books and featured on album covers for artists like Dan Fogelberg. Furthermore, Katz has received glowing reviews such as the following from Jonathan Silverman (author of For the World To See - The Life of Margaret Bourke-White), "The photographs of Andy Katz have the visionary quality that distinguishes all great work" and Audrey Wells (director of Under the Tuscan Sun), "Andy's images are as evocative as cinema. Every photograph tells an eloquent story."
