Tower of Pizza
(
1985
)
14 x 17 3/8 x 17 1/4 inches
This piece is comprised of details from several different locations, some real and some imagined.
The actual pizza place that was my inspiration for the piece stood on 32nd Street and Broadway. While the subway entrance is modeled after the one on 8th Ave. & 42nd Street. The view down the steps is complete with the facades of the discount stores in the underground shopping arcade.
A look into the second floor window provides you a view into Sister Olga’s apartment and 'office' — complete with crystal ball and tarot cards.
