Area, New York City, 1989 by Maxi Cohen.

Last month, two of Maxi Cohen's photographs were included in a group show at Gallery 110. They were quiet, but they stuck with me. When I looked up Cohen, I discovered that the New York artist has been photographing in ladies' rooms for more than 30 years, from Bombay to the Australian Outback to the Rainbow Room in New York.
