Corporate Office 1975 - 1976

"Corporate Office" (1975–76) is a black and white photograph by Lynne Cohen (1944–2014). The image depicts a corporate office interior, featuring a desk, chair, and lamp, with an unusual wallpaper depicting clouds. Cohen's work often explored the relationship between architectural space and human experience, and this photograph reflects her interest in the artificial environments of modern life. It also represents the trend in the mid-1970s of corporate design mimicking natural elements, reflecting the corporate world's growing emphasis on comfort and visual appeal. The photograph's focus on the desk, chair, and lamp creates a sense of anonymity and isolation, further emphasizing the artificiality of the office environment.
