Editor: So, this is David Gentleman's "Warehouse in Mercer St," from the Tate Collections. The green is striking. What can you tell me about its materiality, its construction? Curator: The lithographic process here is key. Notice how the green isn't just color, it denotes a certain kind of added value, perhaps of imported goods, and the labour involved in their handling. How does that resonate with you? Editor: It highlights the building's function rather than just its form, making it about industry and trade. Thank you! Curator: Precisely! And that changes how we see architectural representation, doesn’t it?
