Vestie Davis’s New York
October 20, 2009–November 7, 2010, Lincoln Square Branch
The New York of Vestie Davis (1903–1978) is a bright, sparkling place with impressive and diverse landmark buildings, bridges, parks, and beaches. It is a hub of civic, business, and recreational activity chronicled in meticulously detailed pictures from the 1950s through the 1970s. Davis predicted that some of his favorite sites would not survive the evolving needs of the city, and he faithfully rendered them with this in mind. The exhibition features thirty-six paintings and drawings from the museum’s collection that represent the artist’s favorite subjects.
