About the Item

Marco Aurelio Tricca (American/Italy, 1880-1969) "The Dump" Truck"—Building Baruch College, 1919 Oil on Canvas 20" x 30" Giltwood Framed 24" x 34" A historically significant work by renowned Italian-American artist Marco Aurelio Tricca, The Dump Truck captures the industrious spirit of early 20th-century New York City during the construction of Baruch College on 23rd Street in 1919. This evocative oil-on-canvas painting portrays a team of laborers at a worksite, with a central dump truck unloading materials amid a rugged, dynamic landscape. Tricca’s impressionistic brushwork and earthy, muted tones bring depth and movement to the composition, reflecting both the grit and determination of the workers and the rapidly evolving cityscape. While unsigned, the piece retains a verso label identifying the title and artist. Tricca’s work is highly regarded and is included in the prestigious collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian. Presented in a giltwood frame measuring 24" x 34", this work stands as a striking visual document of New York’s architectural and industrial history. A rare and collectible find for enthusiasts of early American urban landscapes, Impressionist city scenes, and historically significant artworks.
