The Great American Dream: New York (The Glory-Star Version)
1966

A sepia-toned artwork featuring a large, textured sphere composed of overlaid and intersecting lines of text, with a similar but smaller rectangular block of text beneath it. Both shapes are intricately detailed, creating an embossed effect. The text within the sphere is less legible than the text in the rectangle, which reads "NEW YORK." Below the image, handwritten text indicates the title "The Great American Dream aka Mice (not so blind mice)" and the artist's signature with the date '82. The background is a plain, off-white paper.
