Description


Once upon a time, in the borough of Manhattan, there was a fully furnished penthouse apartment suspended 70 feet over Columbus Circle. If you were one of the lucky ones who visited the apartment you would have seen the iconic Christopher Columbus statue as a centerpiece of an 810 square foot room. Your eye would have gazed at the accoutrements — fine art, books about familiar artists, comfy seats, ornaments, and a TV tuned to CNN. If you looked closely at the wallpaper you would have seen drawings of American icons. This was a two month exhibit by the Public Art Fund: "Discovering Columbus." This book will show you what you missed. Or bring back memories of what you saw.
