Urban Landscapes No. 2
A masterful example of Estes' signature Photorealist style, this print captures the sleek, reflective surfaces and precise architectural details of the urban environment with striking clarity and technical precision. Published by Parasol Press, Ltd., New York, this work is a rare artist's proof, numbered from an edition of just 15, alongside a broader edition of 100. Signed and annotated in pencil, the print exemplifies Estes' ability to transform the everyday cityscape into a composition of almost hyper-real beauty.

Artists in conversation
Ralph Goings
American · b. 1928
Goings was a leading Photorealist painter who shared Estes' obsession with reflective surfaces, precise architectural and commercial details, and the mundane urban American environment rendered with hyperrealistic clarity and cool detachment.
Robert Cottingham
American · b. 1935
Cottingham's Photorealist prints and paintings focus intensely on urban storefronts, signage, and architectural fragments rendered with the same meticulous precision and neutral tonal quality seen in Estes' city street compositions.
Don Eddy
American · b. 1944
Eddy works in the Photorealist tradition with a particular emphasis on highly reflective urban surfaces and plate glass windows that fragment and multiply cityscapes, closely mirroring the compositional and technical concerns central to Estes' urban landscape prints.
