Dan Graham Park Avenue Atrium black-and-white photograph of two people seated in a quiet urban atrium, one leaning forward, the other reclining.

// Park Avenue Atrium by Dan Graham, a photograph from 1997, captures an intimate, contemplative scene within an urban space. The black-and-white image shows two individuals seated in a quiet, leafy atrium, both appearing relaxed and disconnected from each other and their surroundings. One person leans forward, seemingly deep in thought, while the other sits back, possibly lost in reflection or sleep. Graham’s work often explores themes of urban life, isolation, and the interaction between people and architectural spaces. The high-contrast tones and subtle details create a serene yet slightly melancholic atmosphere, inviting viewers to consider the quiet, often unnoticed moments in the urban landscape. This photograph is part of a limited edition, underscoring its exclusivity and value in capturing a fleeting slice of city life.

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
