Harold Altman's Park Art
Central Park in New York City and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco both provide a leafy oasis from the concrete canyons of city life. At this time of year, when temperatures are rising, a simple walk in the park may make you want to capture -- forever -- the delights of one of these urban parks. Not to worry: the artist Harold Altman has already done that for you. His etchings and lithographs capture the wonders of these stately parks. Although his works are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Altman's works are relatively affordable (think hundreds, rather than thousands of dollars) and are also owned by many private collectors.
In 1984, following the suggestion of a friend, Altman visited Central Park with a new eye for its urban splendor. An instant love affair bloomed and a glorious Central Park appears in some of his best-loved prints. Following soon after, he began to depict Golden Gate Park in California. Want to lean more? Multiple Impressions has prominently exhibited the work of Harold Altman since 1976. Yearly exhibitions premiering new work followed until Altman's retirement in 1998. The gallery continues to offer the largest collection of Altman's original prints in the country, with all stages of his career represented.
