Coney Island 2 Photograph - Limited Edition of 8

Coney Island in winter with the iconic Parachute Jump in the centre. The Parachute Jump is a defunct amusement ride along the Riegelmann Boardwalk at Coney Island. The structure consists of a 250-foot-tall (76 m), 170-short-ton (150 t) open-frame, steel parachute tower. Twelve cantilever steel arms radiate from the top of the tower; when the ride was in operation, each arm supported a parachute attached to a lift rope and a set of guide cables. Riders were belted into a two-person canvas seat, lifted to the top, and dropped. The parachute and shock absorbers at the bottom would slow their descent. The ride was built for the 1939 New York World's Fair at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, also in New York City. Capped by a 12-foot (3.7 m) flagpole, it was the tallest structure at the Fair. In 1941, after the World's Fair, it was moved to its current location in the Steeplechase amusement park on Coney Island. It ceased operations in the 1960s following the park's closure, and the frame fell into disrepair. This print can be made available to a custom size, limited to editions of three. For custom sizing please contact curator@saatchiart.com who will liaise with me regarding printing to a specific size. The photograph is printed on Hahnemühle German Etch 310gsm, a paper with a delicate surface texture. The print dimensions refer to the actual image size. The finished print is slightly larger - generally an additional 10cm wider and 15 cm higher than the image size. This allows for a white paper border on all 4 sides and a signature bottom right and edition number bottom left. All prints issued with Certificate of Authenticity.
