The Empire Diner—an Art Deco time capsule on the corner of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood, shines in late morning light, crowned by a mural that commands you to EAT. Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Woody Allen, Jean-Michel Basquiat, their likenesses gaze down in fractured colour, watching over a city that once devoured their work and now dines beneath their shadows.
This photograph captures more than just a moment. It’s a collision of past and present, culture and consumerism, iconography and appetite. The diner’s clean lines and the neatly arranged tables feel almost staged beneath the mural’s chaotic reverence. Everything in frame speaks of New York: fast, layered, hungry for meaning.
Printed on Museum grade photography paper. Available in various sizes.
