Painted during the building's long derelict period before its restoration, the work captures the original chimneys and the now-removed riverside loading crane in confident washes of orange, ochre, and indigo. A documentary view of one of the most photographed industrial landmarks in the world, immortalized on Pink Floyd's 1977 Animals album cover. Signed and dated lower right. Presented in its original gold-finish wood frame with deep blue conservation mat.
