A mod atomic-age street lamp — its spherical globe bulbs branching like a molecule model — thrusts into a stormy sky in front of a soaring Gothic cathedral whose spires and ornate stonework are fragmented and refracted through each glass globe, as if the 20th century is literally holding the medieval world in its hands. This striking black-and-white art photograph, matted and presented as a large-format postcard, shows a masterful eye for juxtaposition: the hard geometry of the mid-century lamp standard against the vertical exuberance of the Gothic façade behind it. The cathedral, based on its twin-towered front and rich decorative program visible through the globes, appears consistent with Notre-Dame de Saigon (Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception) in what was then Saigon, Vietnam — a French colonial Gothic Revival structure completed in 1880, whose square appears to have been furnished with exactly this type of modernist globe lamp during the 1960s. The photograph is a serious, exhibition-quality print on fiber-based paper, matted in gray, unused and blank on reverse.
