The work is sold. In this series, the hand carved antique French Gothic frame is one-of-a-kind.
If a collector is interested, I am currently exploring doing an edition of (3.) I have a local artisan that will create a new version of the wood triptych using the frame sample attached. The Title of the work will be etched and sandblasted on glass as in the original. However, I do not have a total cost for that yet, but the original sold for $5,000.
Statement:
SPECULUM – THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS I view this body of work as a confluence of many life lessons. The diverse references, subjects and materials in the Speculum series are all part of a historic, cultural and spiritual journey. Beyond a mere reaction to external stimuli, I see each image as the voice and expression of the man I am today.
Bio:
Fernando Delgado was born in 1957, in Santiago de Cuba. In 1969, at the age of twelve, he and his family came to live in the United States—They settled in Newark, New Jersey where Delgado graduated from Arts High School. He attended The Cooper Union School of Art and Parsons School of Design in New York where he studied with Louise Nevelson, Milton Glaser, Henry Wolf and Herb Lubalin. In 1981, Delgado embarked on a successful advertising career in New York. While working with the best talent in the industry, he honed his skills as a creative professional with Macy’s, Avon, Bloomingdale’s, Bonwit Teller and Young & Rubicam Advertising. After more than twenty-five years promoting, scrutinizing and working with thousands of images, stepping behind the camera seemed only natural for Delgado. In 2005, he moved to the high desert of New Mexico, where he currently lives and works. His work has been exhibited and published nationally and is part of many public and private collections. Delgado is also a published author and popular speaker; he conducts workshops, public talks and works with various groups in the public and private sector.
