Object Type
George Tice finds the
monumental in the commonplace. This photograph, from his 1976 series, Urban Landscapes, is striking for its
stillness and solitude, and also for the sheer size of the water tower looming
over the site. It remains one of Tice’s most iconic works.
ProvenanceThe artist, Iselin, New Jersey; purchased by MFAH, 1987.
