This is a 1983 James Grashow limited edition woodcut print created for the New York City Marathon. The marathon route, complete with runners, is highlighted in blue. Buildings and other landmarks appear in profile, including the Verrazano Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building (complete with King Kong), and the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. Central Park, where the marathon finishes, is prominent. The Statue of Liberty, of course, stands tall in New York Harbor as the State Island Ferry steams towards Battery Park. Spectators appear at various points along the route, but true to form, as important as the marathon is, life continues otherwise unabated. The whole is surrounded by a border composed of used running shoes. (more details)
