Unique color Polaroid; Signed by the artist.

'Bye-Bye Polaroid 18' by Daido Moriyama is a Polaroid photograph measuring 10 × 9.5 cm, signed in the artist's hand on the lower border. A cylindrical brushed-steel door knob dominates the centre of the frame, set against a white door and a dark wooden jamb. The camera angle is slightly canted, and the fragment of a picture frame visible in the upper-left corner suggests an interior domestic or institutional space caught mid-approach. The colour palette — cool whites, warm wood tones, a sliver of grey shadow — is notably restrained for Moriyama, whose reputation rests on high-contrast black-and-white street work. The 'Bye-Bye Polaroid' series, made in 2008, was a deliberate farewell to the Polaroid format as Polaroid Corporation ceased production of instant film. Moriyama used the format to turn his quick, instinctive shooting method on mundane objects, producing small, saturated, intimate records that sit apart from his broader urban output.
