Description:
From the Wall Street series. Signed and dated, verso. During Charles Gatewood's 40 year career he has been best known for documenting the sexual underground and helping launch the Modern Primitives movement into popular consciousness. He is the self-proclaimed "family photographer of America's erotic underground." In the early 1970s, Charles explored New York's financial district, resulting in the “Wall Street” series. Unlike other work that emphasizes sexuality and the idiosyncrasies and weirdness of human existence, these images are ethereal, formal and emotionally void with an underlying theme of capitalism and control. "Wall Street" illustrates the message that perhaps money and high finance constitute the real obscenity of our age. Photo critic AD Coleman commented that "These may just be the dirtiest pictures Charles Gatewood has ever made." Keywords: abstract urban street shadow
