About the event:
After the construction of the Pan Am Building, Emery Roth and Sons had their hand in a lion share of the office buildings that were built in Manhattan. Now under the command of Richard Roth, Jr., the firm was working with some of New York City’s most powerful developers. Of all his many clients, Richard’s favorite was a man named Melvyn Kaufman, who with a deep sense of humor and whimsy wanted to change the concept of what an office building had to be. Who needs a lobby? Why not put playful public art out where everyone can see it? In this virtual talk Richard will tell us the stories behind some of the most fanciful and still fairly undiscovered building of his favorite client.
