Mr. Rosenthal is heavily into traditional B/W printmaking techniques, including extreme corner burn. Based on the angle-of-recession of the wall tiles, this is not all that wide and angle of a shot; I'm guessing 28mm (35mm cam equivalent).
There could be several reasons for the vignetting around the shot. Lens aberations, stacking filters to name a few. Or it could be done quite easily in photoshop.

edit to comment: in fact, looking at it closer and examining the vanishing points, might be 35mm or even 50mm, hard to say without knowing whether he cropped.
Usually the rule of thirds is used for non-symmetrical compositions. Since this is a completely symmetrical composition, the rule of thirds is useless and would actually ruin the photo.

I believe they forgot to use their [sarcasm][/sarcasm] button.

Not 50mm. Look at the curvature of the walls. Cropped or not I'm going to guess and say 28 mm or wider. Probably in the realm of between a 20 and a 24 if it was a 35 mm camera. It was shot in 94' so I'm guessing 35 mm film.
Possibly, but probably not. You will get some light falloff in the corners using most wide angle lenses, but this was probably helped along in the darkroom.
