1957 Lithograph Coliseum Park Apartments Columbus Circle NY Bertram Goodman AEF6

This is an original 1957 single-sided black and white lithograph by Bertram Goodman for the Coliseum Park Apartments at Columbus Circle in New York. It was also home to the New York Coliseum, with housing included as part of the Federal Housing Act. Although the coliseum was torn down in 2000 to make way for the Time Warner Center, the apartments are still thriving today.

This is not a lithograph "after" the artist. This lithograph was created by the original artist on the lithograph plate, and is, therefore, a true original lithograph.

Period Paper has obtained an extraordinary, ultra-rare collection of original lithographs by some of the premier graphic artists of the 1950's. These lithographs were produced for an annual art event in the 1950's for local businesses and major corporations largely based in New York. Historically important for corporate archivists, these are extremely rare to locate and are virtually unseen individually. The original lithographs were produced in only one edition, and included just 2,000. These lithographs are perhaps the most unique, rare, important advertising collectibles that exist for businesses and corporations.
