Artist, American, born Switzerland, 1924 - 2019

The image depicts a roadside fruit stand with bunches of bananas displayed on wooden shelves. The color palette is monochromatic, comprising shades of gray as it is a black-and-white photograph. The fruit, including bananas, apples, and grapes, is creatively presented on stacked crates and small baskets with handwritten price signs. An older model car is parked on the street to the left, and in the background are billboards, one advertising Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum. The scene is set next to an urban road with utility poles and the tops of other cars visible in the distance.
