The Empire State Building Book

By Jonathan Goldman and Jonathan Goldman

Book Overview

Ever since it was built in 1931, the Empire State Building has been the symbol of New York, and it has retained its fascination even though it has lost its crown as the World's Tallest. In this unique and visually exciting book on the phenomenon--an irresistible gift for anyone who loves New York, Art Deco architecture, or popular culture--eclectic representations of the building by artists (including original works commissioned for this book by Paul Degen, Henrik Drescher, Randall Enos, Eugene Mihaesco, Edward Sorel, Ralph Steadman, and others), photographers, moviemakers, and souvenir manufacturers are complemented by a witty, intriguing commentary on a structure that has been variously known as the Empty State Building, the world's largest Christmas tree, and the most distinguished address in the world.
