About this work

While studying under photographer Berenice Abbot, the streets of New York became Peter Sekaer’s favourite object of study. He enjoyed photographing political subjects, like these election posters on a deserted building on 10th Avenue, which the undertaker Daniel F. Coughlin used for his run to win a seat on the New York City board of aldermen.
