Description
Black-and-white negative fine-art image of the north part of downtown Houston, adjacent to Theater District, solarized to give the appearance of a night shot. In front is (what was called at that time) the postmodern Bank of America Center, designed by Phillip Johnson and John Burgee, and built in 1983.
The image was shot from Wortham Center in 2000 with a Minolta Freedom Escort film camera. Wortham Center is home to Houston's world-renowned opera and ballet companies. This unique highrise, fourth tallest building in Houston and 53rd in the US, features segmented tower setbacks, each with a steeply pitched gabled roofline topped off with spires. It is probably the most easily recognized and unique building among the many in Houston's beautiful skyline.
