Atlantic City Possibly 1973 - 1994

Richard Gordon’s black and white photograph “Atlantic City” depicts a storefront window obscured by a metal gate. The composition is simple yet evocative, with the grid pattern of the gate dominating the foreground and obscuring the view of the interior space. This image is characteristic of Gordon’s photographic style, which often explored themes of urban decay, alienation, and the mundane aspects of everyday life. “Atlantic City” is a powerful reminder of the barriers that often exist between people and places. It invites viewers to contemplate the nature of isolation and the ways in which we are both connected and separated from the world around us.
