Acclaimed Photographer Gregory Crewdson Releases Limited Edition ‘Eddington’ Print

A24 has teamed up with acclaimed fine art photographer Gregory Crewdson to release a limited edition Eddington print.

Priced at $250, the digital pigment print measures 17×22 with an 11.5×20.5 image. It’s limited to 1,000, each signed by the artist. A numbered certificate of authenticity is included.

This marks the first time Crewdson has made an original work for a film. Writer-director Ari Aster personally posed the idea, which Crewdson accepted due to his admiration for Aster’s work and a shared aesthetic sensibility.

Features Joaquin Phoenix in his role as Joe Cross, A24 produced the picture with Crewdson, his own director of photography and lighting team, alongside the film’s production and art department.

“I’m a big fan of Ari’s and I love his films,” Crewdson told Variety. “I feel very connected to them in terms of their aesthetic and their sensibility. My pictures are very concerned with the psychological underpinnings of everyday life, so there’s a lot of cross connection.”

He continues, “I liked the idea of a desolate landscape, almost like the opening up a Western or something, with a kind of grandeur. And I wanted there to be this mood or atmosphere of something foreboding.”

“It’s gorgeous and it captures the town so beautifully,” Aster adds. “He also captured something essential about Joe, and his loneliness.”

A contemporary western set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Eddington opens on July 18.

Phoenix stars alongside Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone.

Set in May 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.
