Over the years, he has crossed the globe exploring the mark of human development on the earth and its embedded political, social and economic consequences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Shipbreaking\" is arguably Burtynsky's most distinctive body of work. He presents imagery that had hitherto been impossible to imagine; what happens to ocean liners when they are out of commission? Where do they end up and how are they dismantled? Mostly taken in Bangladesh, these striking and moody photographs in a distinctive palette are intriguing, disturbing, and curiously beautiful. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Shipbreaking #39\" is a stand-out from this iconic series. The sky is a striking blue, which is quite unusual for Burtynsky, as he generally captures photographs on overcast days with even lighting. This image contains no elements to indicate scale – like a ladder, person, or vehicle that may appear in other works. When combined, these elements come together in a dystopian landscape, truly alien and open to any interpretation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Burtynsky's work can be found in the permanent collection of countless museums including the National Gallery of Canada, the Guggenheim, TATE Modern (London), and MoMA to mention a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this piece? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:info@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/pages\/contact\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003evisit our Toronto gallery\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\"Shipbreaking #39, Chittagong, Bangladesh\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2001, Chromogenic print\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSigned, numbered, and editioned verso mount\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFrom an edition of 3 of 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e30”H 40”W (image)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e36”H 43”W (sheet)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVery good condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edward Burtynsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47589844353260,"sku":"05-26","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/2712\/files\/Caviar20_Edward-Burtynsky-Shipbreaking_39-Bangladesh-2001_01.jpg?v=1777653516","url":"https:\/\/www.caviar20.com\/products\/edward-burtynsky-shipbreaking-39-2001","provider":"Caviar20","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
