New York 350 1978

"New York 350" is a 1978 gelatin silver print by Aaron Siskind. It is characteristic of Siskind's later work, focusing on the texture and abstract qualities of urban surfaces, particularly in New York City. This particular image captures a weathered wooden surface with peeling paint, showcasing the artist's interest in exploring the interplay of light and shadow, as well as the ephemeral nature of urban decay. The image's composition and stark contrast emphasize the abstract forms created by the worn paint and the wood's grain, highlighting the beauty found in the overlooked details of everyday life.
