Real Estate #902516 1990

"Real Estate #902516" is a 1990 photograph by Henry Wessel, known for his work in the New Topographics movement. This photograph, like many of Wessel's works, presents a straightforward view of a mundane scene – a single-story suburban home. The image captures a sense of stillness and ordinariness, with the boarded-up windows and overgrown yard hinting at the house's abandonment. The minimalist composition and sharp focus, typical of Wessel's style, elevate this ordinary subject matter to an object of contemplation. Wessel's photographic approach challenges viewers to consider the everyday in a new light, often blurring the lines between documentary and fine art.
