Two swimmers float in bright turquoise water while a person stands poolside; on the grass below, individuals recline under striped umbrellas, with personal belongings scattered nearby.

In Power of Now (2008), Julie Blackmon captures an idyllic summer afternoon with a characteristic undercurrent of unease. Everyone is absorbed in the moment, seemingly oblivious to the small signs of impending danger around them—a tension between domestic pleasure and looming chaos that has become a hallmark of Blackmon’s work. Power of Now is extremely rare on the market, with examples from its small edition seldom becoming available. Click on the button below for pricing and availability.
