Green Warehouse, Newbern, Alabama. 1997. Pigment print, printed later. 28 x 35,5 cm (43,2 x 55,2 cm). Signed, titled, and dated in ballpoint pen on the verso.

A pioneer of Southern vernacular photography, William Christenberry developed a quietly powerful visual language rooted in the landscapes, architecture, and cultural memory of his native Alabama. Revisiting the same humble structures over decades, he documented their gradual decay with a profound sense of personal connection and historical awareness. Green Warehouse, Newbern, Alabama exemplifies his meditative approach - merging documentary clarity with painterly sensitivity and a deep reverence for place and passage of time. – Some light scuff marks, a few stains on margins of prints, otherwise in near excellent condition.
