Ann Treer's Window, 2nd Avenue and 5th Street, New York Possibly 1957 - 1983

This black and white photograph, taken by David Vestal sometime between 1957 and 1983, captures a simple still life arrangement of four apples. The apples rest on a windowsill in a corner of a room, providing an understated, yet intriguing, composition. The composition's simplicity, stark light and focus on the ordinary objects of everyday life exemplify the minimalist aesthetic prevalent in the mid-20th century, particularly in American photography. The title, "Ann Treer's Window," suggests the subject matter was taken from a specific location, likely the home of someone Vestal knew.
