A note from LeRoy Neiman made in preparation for his Busker Alley mural at the St. James theatre in 1995.
Description
This note was of a few from LeRoy Neiman made in preparation for his prospective mural at the St. James Theatre. The venue, which was set to host Busker Alley, invited the artist to paint the facade of the building in lieu of a billboard. That said, the broadway show was cancelled before its premier at the theater. Neiman’s mural was eventually painted over.
This document itself provides a list of pieces and forms of work engaging public space. And the collection is geographically diffuse, touching on Egypt, New York, Italy, and Mexico. The record also mentions Neiman’s own experience painting a mural at the Donut Dugout while stationed in Eupen, Belgium during WWII, as well as another at Sportsman’s Park in Saint Louis.
