Stan Malinowski: Who would ever have “thunk” that gas stations would become objects of art (as differentiated from objets d’art). This photograph of a gas station is stunning in its perfection. The fascination with gas stations is likewise shared by artists and photographers including Alex Devereux, Ed Ruscha, and Ralf Peters. Carol M. Highsmith’s gas station is the most compelling image of among all these that I’ve seen!
