This piece is called "Estate", it was made in 1967. It is currently in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It shows small pictures of New York City. They say that it is suppose to show the forgotten details in every day life. I could understand the concept behind this collage. If you live in NYC you constantly always see street signs, buildings, railroad tracks, the statue of Liberty. To some, this may just be their every day life and not think much of it. But to others, this is a work of art. They don't take it for granted, they think seeing street signs, buildings, railroad tracks, and the statue of Liberty are gorgeous. I am a New Yorker do not think much of street signs because I see them every day. Seeing the statue of Liberty, or large buildings like skyscrapers are breathtaking. It's just something you can't take your eyes off of.
