Sixth Ave, W. 50th St., South, New York, 1978

Eklund notes that when Struth arrived in New York in 1978, he continued his practice of making views of city streets, '...locking his pictures into a perspective that seems anonymous, as if the pictures arose ready-made from the camera's characteristic capacity to make clear, detailed records of the world in single-point perspective...absent of anecdote and incident, the empty streets demand potential performers to imaginatively replay Struth's negotiation of the space.'
