George Tice, Petit’s Mobile Station, Cherry Hill, New Jersey, 1974, gelatin silver print.
10 ½ x 13 in. Printed 1978. Signed on the mount.
George Tice is drawn to vestiges of American culture on the verge of extinction-from people in rural or small-town communities to suburban buildings and neighborhoods that are often in decline. Although he has photographed throughout the Northwestern United States, he is best known for pictures of his native New Jersey, and the impeccable quality of his black-and-white prints.
"It takes the passage of time before an image of a commonplace subject can be assessed. The great difficulty of what I attempt is seeing beyond the moment; the everydayness of life gets in the way of the eternal."
– George Tice
