• DESCRIPTION: An original 1923 drypoint by Joseph Pennell titled Building New York, 7th Avenue, NYC. This work captures the energy of the city during a time of massive growth, focusing on the steel-frame construction and rising heights that defined modern New York. Pennell uses a low vantage point to make the building feel monumental, emphasizing its great scale and verticality. Working in drypoint, he creates rich, velvety lines that give the architecture a sense of weight and solid structure. The expressive linework conveys both the physical texture of the construction site and the constant movement of the urban environment. It is a masterful record of the technological progress and architectural change of the 1920s.
