The work of artists such as Marc Chagall, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, Ludwig Bemelmans, and more grace the walls and ceilings of the public spaces New Yorkers see every day. Whether it's cocktails at the Carlyle, taking in a show at Lincoln Center, traveling via subway, or flyingout of LaGuardia Airport, millions of people come into contact with the greatest public works of art. From uptown to downtown to the outer boroughs, the art created for the walls of New York City's bars, hotels, offices, government buildings, and schools have themselves created the identities of the rooms they live in.Murals of New York City is the first book to curate more than 30 of the most important, influential, and impressive murals found within all five boroughs of New York City. Photographer Joshua McHugh's full-color images of such works as Paul Helleu's famous "Mural of the Stars" on Grand Central Station's ceiling, Robert Crowl's "Dancers at the Bar" at Lincoln Center, Edward Lanning's McGraw's New York Public Library Rotunda, Jose Marie Sert and Frank Brangwyn's Rockefeller Center murals, and more, are accompanied by artist and muralist Glenn Palmer-Smith's informative and historical commentary. Perfect for art and architecture lovers, The Murals of New York City also serves as the perfect resource and souvenir for the millions of tourists who visit the city every year.
