Yussef Nabil "Mohamed with Eyes Closed 2002" Digital Lambda Print (Signed)

Creator: Yussef Nabil
Offered by: Lobel Modern, Inc.

Description
"Mohamed with Eyes Closed, 2002", large Digital Lambda Print, casting year 2001, Egypt (edition 1 of 3, signed, “Yussef Nabil 1/3 Cairo 2001” on back of photograph). The frame is solid oak and exquisite. These large prints by Nabil are very rare and were done in very small editions.

Nabil's distinctive technique of hand-coloring silver gelatin prints removes the blemishes of reality. Nabil disrupts prevalent notions of color photography and painting, as well as assumptions about the aesthetic sensibilities associated with art and those identified with popular culture. His hand-colouring evokes a sense of longing and nostalgia and allows his photographs to flicker between our time and another era.

Youssef Nabil is part of various international collections including Collection François Pinault, Paris; LACMA Museum, Los Angeles; The Louis Vuitton Foundation, Paris; Sindika Dokolo Foundation, Luanda; La Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; the joint collection of The British Museum and The Victoria & Albert Museum, London; SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA; Centro de la Imagen, Mexico City; Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha; the Guggenheim Museum, Abu Dhabi;The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York and Pérez Art Museum in Miami.
