About the work

The original was done in 1984, 24 x 24 inches, acrylic on canvas. I painted a larger version in 1986, Acrylic on Canvas, 70 x 70 inches for an exhibition in W. Palm Beach, Florida, sponsored by Art Investors International. It was held at the Plaza which soon became Trump Plaza, 525 S. Flagler Dr., West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. This original painting, I had sold under written agreement, and I was defrauded out of the work. After a short period of time the F.B.I. was involved. Unfortunately, I had never recovered my painting which involved contacting the F.B.I. This painting has taken a great deal of work to remanufacture, but fortunately I have the original miniature done in 1984.
I did meet Donald Trump at the time, as he walked through my exhibition as I discussed my paintings with him and that I observed his evaluation of the building. The exhibition was written up in the Palm Beach Daily News with a very favorable review. Art Investors International also gave me a full page color Ad in Arts Magazine.
