On February 12th, 2021, we had the honor and pleasure of having a guest speaker: Professor Robert Arthur King, who was gracious enough to allow us to share a recording of his presentation about historical public art.
All around the city there are faces on facades of buildings. Architect and photographer Robert Arthur King shared with us his pictures and commentary examining carved faces that delight, invite, or warn us, embellishing houses in New York and from his travels.
