The Whitney (Marcel Breuer Building), 1979
Woodcut engraving
Signed, titled, dated and numbered by the artist on the back. This is a rare Artist Proof 9/10, aside from the regular edition of 60.
22 3/4 × 18 1/4 inches
Unframed
This vintage 1979 woodcut engraving by the world's top architectural muralist and trompe d'oeil artist, Richard Haas, depicts the building New Yorkers nostalgically call the "Old Whitney". Long before the Whitney moved to Manhattan's trendy meatpacking district, it occupied the building on West 75th and Madison Avenue designed by Marcel Breuer ("The Breuer Building"), known as the Whitney's third home. For those of us who grew up in Manhattan, or for those who love New York history - this 1979 work is a wonderful piece of nostalgia. Unframed and in fine condition with deckled edges. This is a signed Artist Proof 9/10, aside from the regular edition of 60.
In May of 2023, it was reported that the Whitney sold the Breuer building to Sotheby's for $100 million.
