PAINTING THE CITY: A New York State of Mind

The city of the world rests on more than 300 square miles of rock and is flanked by two rivers and the Atlantic Ocean. With an influence that spans the earth and an appeal that inspires people of every age and gender, paintings of this great city are among the most coveted of any subject matter in American art.

The Nominees Are...

In five categories, these are our nominations for both exceptional artistic merit and sensible value. We have afforded fame far less emphasis than successful execution and sheer wall appeal. In many cases, we were willing to look past works by better-known artists if we genuinely believed that a painting by a lesser-known had enough integrity for a favorable comparison.
