About the work

A few years after the completion of the Woolworth Building and Marin’s initial etchings of it, the artist made a number of elegant, abstracted drawings and further etchings, including the drypoint-enhanced Woolworth from the River and the graphite Sketch of Lower Manhattan", in which he used line sparingly to study the force of the skyscraper in its purest, most distilled form.
