This black and white silver gelatin photograph titled ‘Opera House from inside’ was taken by Jozef Vissel, c.1985. It shows the Sydney Harbour Bridge taken through the glass walls of the western foyer of the Sydney Opera House. Jozef Vissel is a commercial photographer who was born in the Netherlands in 1947. The Museum holds a number of his photographs, including the rather iconic portrait of Jorn Utzon demonstrating the gull’s wing outline , the Opera House at sunset and Model in boiler hall of the Ultimo Power Station- now the Powerhouse Museum!
