EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant city of Chicago in June 1969. From the perspective of the 49th floor of the newly constructed John Hancock Centre, we are treated to an awe-inspiring view of the iconic Chicago skyline. The towering skyscrapers reach for the sky, creating a mesmerizing cityscape that truly captures the essence of urban life. The United States flag proudly waves in the distance, reminding us of this city's significance as a symbol of American progress and ambition. However, what sets this image apart is an unexpected detail - a Playboy sign adorning one of the buildings below. A subtle nod to Hugh Hefner's empire, it adds a touch of intrigue and playfulness to an otherwise serious urban landscape. Transporting us back in time to the swinging sixties, this aerial view showcases not only architectural marvels but also provides insight into how cities evolve over time. It invites contemplation on how Chicago has transformed since then while still retaining its unique charm. Keogh's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both grandeur and subtlety simultaneously. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling metropolises like Chicago, there are hidden stories waiting to be discovered if we take a moment to look closely enough.
