A Depressed New York

A Depressed New York is a 4' x 4' mixed media work by Chris Hotham Carroll.  This very moving piece chronicals the Great Depression, and it's impact on New York.  The 1930 NY City skyline pictured above, was crafted from NY Times articles unearthed from an antique store in New Hampshire.

The work is widely popular, and it was even featured as a backdrop on Fox News nationally last month, as you can see below:
Chris is currently working on a series of similarly themed pieces over the summer, and we will have an opening exhibit of this series early this fall.

Finally I'm able to comment... not sure why I can't comment from my work computer.

Anyway, this is truly an amazing piece! I have friends who still ask me / comment about it. Someday this one will sell for an astounding amount of $.

Great work
