About the Item
NEW YORK CITY: GRAND HYATT is an original hand drawn lithograph created in 1983 by the NY woman artist, Joan Melnick. NEW YORK CITY: GRAND HYATT was Inspired by the architectural design elements of the landmark Grand Central Terminal and Grand Hyatt Hotel, NYC Midtown East. NEW YORK CITY: GRAND HYATT portrays the reflective glass facade of the hotel and sculptural ornamentation of Grand Central Terminal's southern facade, modeled after a Roman triumphal arch, symbolizing the triumph of the railroad. The sculptural facade by Jules Coutan was also envisioned as a gateway to the city, the figural group depicting Mercury (the god of commerce) supported by Minerva and Hercules (representing mental and moral strength).

Joan Melnick (b.1942 New York) began painting at an early age. She is an internationally exhibited American visual artist and a professor of interior design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Melnick studied Interior Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology and subsequently took up printmaking and painting as a course of study at SUNY New Paltz, where she garnered a Masters in Art. Joan Melnick is considered a colorist, extraordinarily sensitive to the expressive and evocative roles that color plays in art and nature. Usually subtle and fragile, sometimes direct and bold, she handles her transitions from light to shadow with absolute precision. She controls the delicate balance of color, light, and form in a painterly parallel to organic growth.

It was boldly inscribed in black marker to Peter by Cindy Sherman. Publisher: Hamptons International Film Festival Cindy Sherman Biography: Born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Cindy Sherman lives and works in New York NY. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades. Coming to prominence in the late 1970s with the Pictures Generation group alongside artists such as Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Louise Lawler, Sherman studied art at Buffalo State College in 1972 where she turned her attention to photography. In 1977, shortly after moving to New York, Sherman began her critically acclaimed Untitled Film Stills. A suite of 69 black and white portraits, Untitled Film Stills sees Sherman impersonate a myriad of stereotypical female characters and caricatures inspired by Hollywood pictures, film noir, and B movies. Using a range of costumes, props and backdrops to manipulate her own appearance and to create photographs resembling promotional film images, the series explores the tension between artifice and identity in consumer culture which has preoccupied the artist’s practice ever since. Sherman continued to channel and reconstruct familiar personas known to the collective psyche, often in unsettling ways. In 1981, the artist created her Centerfolds, a series of photographic double spreads inspired by men’s erotic...Category
