David Yarrow — Once Upon a Time in America (Brooklyn)

David Yarrow (b. 1966) is internationally recognized for a cinematic black-and-white language that fuses epic scale with intimate narrative, executed with museum-grade technical discipline. Collected globally and exhibited through leading institutions and galleries—including Maddox Gallery and the Saatchi Gallery—his editions have achieved record auction results at Sotheby’s and Phillips, reinforcing Yarrow’s position as one of the most actively sought-after photographers in the contemporary market.

Once Upon a Time in America (Brooklyn, New York, 2025) was created in collaboration with Team Europe to commemorate a Ryder Cup victory, translating a defining sporting moment into a tableau of cultural mythology. Set against the emphatic sense of place of Brooklyn, the work balances group energy, stylized detail, and a singular, unrepeatable morning light—elements Yarrow has cited as central to what he considers among the most iconic images of his career. The result transcends sports photography, operating instead as a lasting document of unity, style, and triumph with clear cross-collecting appeal for fine art, golf, and modern Americana narratives.

This Commemorative Edition is strictly limited to 30 prints, each signed and numbered by the artist, with proceeds directed to charitable causes connected to the subjects portrayed—an additional layer of provenance and purpose that collectors increasingly value. With Yarrow editions regularly reaching six-figure results at auction and commemorative releases notably scarce, this work offers a compelling combination of rarity, authorship, and contemporary market relevance for collectors who acquire with both connoisseurship and long-term stewardship in mind.
