The Desctruction of Lower Manhattan, Plate 52, 2nd edition, 2005, and Plate 49 for the 3rd 2020 facsimile edition.
Another impression of this print is included in the collection of the MFA, Houston, object # 2015.249.69.
This photograph belongs to Lyon’s seminal series documenting the demolition of Lower Manhattan, a project that featured a haunting sub-series of abandoned interiors. While the work draws clear inspiration from the formal rigor of Eugène Atget and Walker Evans, these doomed spaces also serve as a poignant precursor to the 'anarchitecture' of Gordon Matta-Clark produced in the following decade.
