Untitled
1972, printed 1996

A vintage photograph of a corner in a room with wooden walls and floor, featuring a large industrial fan on top of a partition wall. The partition has signs that read "MEN ONLY," "MINORS $25.00 FINE," "ADULT NOTICE," and "WOMEN ONLY." Various beer advertisements, including Miller High Life, and a broom leaning against the wall are also visible. The image has a sepia-toned color palette, adding to its retro aesthetic.
