Cars on the Street
n.d.
Andy Warhol
Artist, American, 1928 - 1987
![This is a photograph of a street scene with a row of buildings and parked cars. The image shows a view along a street with cars parked in front of a two-story brick building. The center of the building has a sign for "LA CHAUMIERE AUTHENTIC FRENCH RESTAURANT," alongside signage for "WM. JEFFERY National [illegible] Agents" and "Corner No.2 205." A tree partially obscures the restaurant, and a convertible car with occupants is parked along the curb. The atmosphere is urban, focusing on commercial establishments common in cities or busy town streets. The image is in black and white, giving it a timeless quality.](https://api.nga.gov/iiif/c1240038-5f45-4cde-809c-8f56ee27e5f0/full/!800,800/0/default.jpg)
