Eric from Men in the Cities, 1985

Lithograph

72 x 36 in 182.9 x 91.4 cm

Edition

Edition of 48

This striking lithograph presents a solitary figure captured in a moment of apparent physical contortion or emotional crisis. The anonymous subject, dressed in business attire, appears suspended against a stark white background, their body twisted in an ambiguous gesture that suggests either ecstatic release or agonizing collapse. Longo's masterful use of high contrast and meticulous rendering creates a photorealistic quality that emphasizes every fold of fabric and tension in the body, while simultaneously abstracting the figure from any recognizable context or narrative. Part of Longo's celebrated Men in the Cities series, this work exemplifies the artist's exploration of power, control, and urban alieninity during the height of 1980s corporate culture. The lithographic medium allows for remarkable detail and tonal depth, making this an accessible entry point into one of contemporary art's most influential bodies of work. The monumental scale and dramatic composition have cemented these images as defining icons of their era. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
