Edward Burtynsky has a great review this morning in the LA Times. Tyler over at MAN also has lots of good links.

Burtynsky is another great artist I would like to add to the collection. I wonder what this might do to pricing now??

So Tyler, because I would like your professional opinion, which series would you go with??

Ebdam5sm_1 Three Gorges Dam Project??

Ebshipbreaking Shipbreaking??

Ebrailcuts1sm or Railcuts??

    I’d have to go with Shipbreaking, although the Marble Quarries and Tire Piles are my faves.

    Hi Erik-
    Yeah it looks like the shipbreaking series is getting most of the votes. However, I still like the minimalist nature of the railcuts series….that, and I have a line on one for a good price…I hope to go to the San Diego show this weekend. Look for another post if I make it.

    Shipbreaking (but, I’m a biased art dealing sort of person who has a personal stake).

    Of these three, specific photos, I’d go with the image from Three Gorges. However, some of his work on nickel tailings are even more striking.
    I assume Tyler advised you privately. 😉

    Hey Todd-
    You are correct. The tailings are striking. By the way, you’ve been doing a nice job over there at FtF. You need to slow down a bit. You’re raising the bar a little high for a blog slacker like myself.

    Of these, Three Gorges easily. I have to add, though, that I like many of the other ones not in this selection much better.

    Sorry Todd- Got the wrong Todd. Same to you though. 🙂

    Howdy!
    You might want to check out The catalogue, and the collection, and then call or email Lori Pauli, and Ann Thomas, the photography curators at the National Gallery here, in the white north.
    And then with just a cursory glance at Waddington’s and Heffel’s results last year it looks like the nickel tailings (not on your list) would be the way to go, although my gut tells me that the main concern should be size.

    Zeke-
    Thanks for all the info. Size should be a concern if you are planning on flipping it. I plan to hold so I’m pretty much a price buyer currently….I like the work….I plan to hold.
