Guide to the Art of Rockefeller Center

From the depths of the Great Depression in 1929, John D. Rockefeller Jr. envisioned an unprecedented, modern and luxurious building project. Given the theme "New Frontiers", nearly forty artists created everything from paintings and sculpture to fabrics and fountains. This is the first easy-to-navigate guide to the wonderful sculptures, murals, bas-reliefs and mosaics of this Art Deco showplace. By the author of "The Art of Rockefeller Center" (ISBN 0 393 06082 9), it will allow tourists, students and enthusiasts to discover Rockefeller's extraordinary vision. Vital Signs provides the most straightforward and reliable environmental, economic, and social information available on the planet Earth. The book delivers . . . facts illuminated by contexts and interconnections, often revealing causes of the problems, and pointing the way toward solutions that work. -- Michael Pastore
