Artworks

Thebes, West

Parliament

Centre Georges Pompidou

A vast trading floor seen from above, packed with hundreds of traders in red, yellow and blue jackets among banks of monitors and desks, the green floor strewn with scattered paper.

Chicago, Board of Trade II

Vast colour photograph of a monolithic modernist apartment block, its facade a dense grid of hundreds of windows and curtained interiors stretching edge to edge above a thin line of trees

Paris, Montparnasse

Flat horizontal bands beneath a pale grey sky: a thin strip of green grass, a wide grey river, then a broad green embankment crossed by a straight paved path along the bottom

The Rhine II
