Richard Misrach: Cargo
The artist documented cargo ships in the San Francisco Bay during a critical moment for the global shipping industry. Made in the light of early morning or late afternoon, the images suggest a comparison to J.M.W Turner’s atmospheric maritime paintings, and recall the careful observation of the sky and water in Misrach’s own “Golden Gate” and “On the Beach” series.
