Hello, this item is a mixed media work by Julian Schnabel, executed in 2011 using ink applied directly onto a Polaroid photograph. The work belongs to Schnabel’s well documented body of Polaroid based compositions produced from the late 1990s onward, in which he intervenes photographically with gestural marks, symbols, and washes of color. The use of purple ink, calligraphic linear elements, and expressive drips aligns closely with Schnabel’s broader painterly language, translating the scale and physicality of his paintings into an intimate photographic format. The visible signature and date correspond with authenticated examples from this period, and the accompanying documentation from Galería Soledad Lorenzo in Madrid, one of Schnabel’s primary European galleries, strongly supports the attribution and authenticity of the work.

The condition appears very good, with no visible tears, losses, or significant abrasions to the photographic surface, and the ink application remains stable. The work is framed and measures approximately 117 by 86 centimeters overall. From a market perspective, signed Polaroid based works by Julian Schnabel from the 2000s to early 2010s are actively collected and regularly appear on the secondary market. Comparable authenticated examples with gallery provenance typically achieve prices in the range of USD 25,000 to USD 45,000, depending on scale, visual strength, and exhibition history. Based on the imagery, signature, date, medium, and documented gallery provenance, the current fair market value of this work is reasonably estimated at USD 30,000 to USD 45,000.
