Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005] Possibly 2005 - 2010

Richard Misrach's Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005] is a poignant photograph capturing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The image portrays a brick house with debris strewn across the front yard, including a sign advertising "50% Off" on "carpet." The photograph, created likely between 2005 and 2010, is a stark reminder of the devastation caused by the natural disaster and the displacement it brought to many. Misrach's work is known for its focus on landscapes, and this piece exemplifies his use of photography as a tool to document and explore social and environmental issues.
