Park City 98 1979

"Park City 98" (1979) is a black and white photograph by Lewis Baltz, a key figure in the New Topographics movement of the 1970s. The image captures the stark interior of a closet, devoid of personal belongings. Baltz’s minimalist approach highlights the uniformity and banality of suburban architecture and the dehumanizing effects of mass production and consumerism. This photograph, part of Baltz’s "Park City" series, is a compelling example of the artist's signature style, which is characterized by its sharp focus on the details of built environments and his preference for straight lines and geometric compositions.
