Graham, Tony (sold)
Tony Graham (1933 - 1992) was an artist, illustrator, and art gallery owner based in New York City. Born David Lebo in Pittsburgh, he worked in broadcasting in West Virginia for two decades (changing his name in the process) before relocating to New York and, several years later, beginning a career as an illustrator. His works, generally depicting his adopted city, appeared in multiple publications, including the New York Times. In addition to his own works, Graham owned the Newmark Gallery on the Upper East Side, where he sold limited edition prints by contemporary artists.
The Center of the World.
A scarce and entertaining 1978 pictorial view of New York City (and 'environs') by the illustrator Tony Graham. Depicting the New Yorker's, or more accurately the Manhattanite's, view of the United States, it devotes considerable attention to the neighborhoods, shops, and attractions of Manhattan while relegating less important parts of the city, and country, to the margins.
