Full-color photographs of works such as Paul César Helleu's Sky Ceiling on Grand Central Terminal's ceiling, José María Sert's and Frank Brangwyn's Rockefeller Center murals, and work by such artists as Chagall, Haring, Lichtenstein, Parrish and more are accompanied by informative and historical commentary. |
