George Tice (b. 1938)

platinum/palladium print
20 x 24 in. (50.8 x 61 cm)
edition 27 of 30
and 8 x 10 inches
George Tice’s most iconic photograph, Petit’s Mobil Station recalls the magnificent abandon of an Edward Hopper painting and has become emblematic of the quintessential American urban landscape. Tice photographed Petit’s Mobil Station en route to visit his girlfriend at the time. Exiting the New Jersey turnpike around dusk, Tice propped up his camera on the side of the road and set a 2 minute exposure. To preserve the scene’s serene emptiness — one where the flat top sedan is the only sign of human activity— Tice covered the lens every time a new car pulled up to the pump. The platinum and palladium that Tice used to print the photograph evoke the richness of light, giving the station an unexpected gravitas.

Ann Rhoney (b. 1953)
Silk Dress Coming, 1982, painted 2018

Image: 13 1/8 x 8 7/8 in. (33.3 x 22.5 cm)
Paper: 14 x 11 in. (35.6 x 27. 9 cm)
The catalog for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2012 exhibition Faking It wrote on Silk Dress Coming, “…the silver dress undulates like molten steel, and its carefully positioned streaks of rust and lavender rhyme with those of the admirer’s übermasculine conveyance. The chromatic affinities allowed Rhoney to propose a narrative relationship to which the ‘natural’ color of commercially available film would have been indifferent.”
