This TIMEPiece takes us back to New York City in 1987. The city was much different than it is today. The streets were gritty, dangerous, and riddled with graffiti. Even with NYC in a state of turmoil, it proved to be one of the most fun and interesting times to be alive in the city.
This piece includes three photos divided into a triptych, representing my interpretation of “slices of TIME.” The top and bottom moments portray stories of companionship and happiness. These captures embody a silver lining despite being surrounded by a tougher environment. The middle frame, a DeLorean resembling the vehicle from “Back to the Future,” represents the time travel to and from the next TIMEPiece. The “Back to the Future” movies were also very popular in the years surrounding 1987. These images were photographed in present day New York.
Slices of TIME is a two-part collection, inspired by TIME’s nearly 100 year history. The collection features four editions: single red border, single white border, double red border, and double white border. The rarity of this collection was determined completely by Slices of TIME collectors and was final and set as of 12pm ET Feb 23, 2022.
The collection includes work by TIME Creative Director DW Pine and 38 incredible artists. TIME selected 19 artists, who in turn picked 19 collaborators, to create two pieces of art—one inspired by a year from TIME’s past and one by what they see as a hundred years in the future. So, for example, 1969 and 2069.
