Can anyone identify this photo in the New York Metropolitan Art Museum?

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in the modern art/photography section there's a photo (from 1997 or thereabouts) of a man standing in a hotel room in a rainy day. It's a huge print, probably 5'x4', and is lit from behind. It's not on the Met's website. Does anyone know the name of the photo/photographer?

Clues suggest the photographer is Katharina Bosse, but I'm not certain.

It looks like it very well could be, though the style was different. The photo was like a still from a Michael Mann film; very blue palate, bordering on sterile, and beautiful. I'll be in the UES tomorrow so I'm tempted to go to the museum again and see just whose photo it is, exactly.

Thanks for the lead, though, I'll sniff out what I can.

That's it! I thought I looked everywhere on the Met's website and still didn't see it. Thank you so much.
