Piece description from the artist
I worked in Prospect Park for many years as creator and director for their visual arts program from 1983 to 1993. I loved the Park and understood its history and importance in Brooklyn. This silk-screen print was pulled by Master Printer, Rand Russell of Grain Graphics. Examples of each of the 3 color states and a finished print are in the collection of the National Print Archive in the Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University in New Jersey. The print edition was 40 prints. I have 24 left. I own the right to license this image for reproduction purposes.
