A brooding urban visage seen through shifting strokes of gray, two views of Rockefeller Center grace the facade of this late-1940s modernist console. Natty beige-and-metallic-colored stripes of gold and silver surround the case, framing and complimenting the pixilated images. A strongly architectural piece of furniture, Rockefeller Center represents a calculated goal: to bond image to object.
Listed in Sotheby’s Important 20th Century Design catalog, 2008.
