Photographs

Amid the dark shadows that fill most of this image, what appears to be the top of a large, brightly lit structure with classical features stands out above the center point. It’s just possible to make out the faint silhouette of a leafless tree in the upper-left corner and the contours of large stone staircase with an urn that extends from the left edge to cover the lower half of the image. — Edward Jean Steichen

Nocturne—Orangerie Staircase, Versailles , 1908

Untitled (take a giant step) — Lorna Simpson

Untitled (take a giant step) , 2001

The head and shoulders of a white adult male with short brunette hair, blue eyes, and a reddish-brown goatee beard and moustache fill the majority of this large-scale color photograph. He wears a pale blue button-up shirt with a collar; the top-most button is left open. Minute details in the figure’s skin and shadows on the fabric are captured by the camera lens. — Thomas Ruff

Portrait (R. Eisch) , 1999

Matthew Barney

Cremaster Suite , 1994-2002

Just left of this image’s center, the small figures of two young men emerge from a gap in the largely dead hedge with patches of ivy growing around a chain-link fence that spans across the center of this image beneath an ominously clouded sky. The neatly trimmed grass, sunken headstones, and flower arrangements in the foreground suggest that these men are entering a cemetery. — Jeff Wall

Boys cutting through a hedge , 2003

This large-scale color photograph captures a mysterious scene staged in a domestic bathroom, which is presented in cross-section. In the center of the frame, a white man, wearing only briefs, is bent over on the floor of a shower stall. His right arm reaches through the drain and is visible in the dark crawlspace below floor level where a pipe would normally be connected. The dim light filtering through a small window on the left evokes a sense of twilight. — Gregory Crewdson
