While he envisioned this body of work as a meditation on ruins, it included this contemporary view of Manhattan. Pearlstein explained that it was inspired by Joseph Pennell's sepia-colored WWI poster showing an apocalyptic bombing of New York City. To produce his image, Pearlstein taped a grid on the window of his friends' Soho apartment and spent every Sunday for several months painstakingly recording the vista. The scene—which he described as a 'pre-ruin'—is eerily prophetic with the shadowy World Trade Center towers visible in the background.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PORTFOLIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47740134392096,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/9511\/0432\/files\/pearlsteinnyframe_d4a5f2a2-6385-4181-bf25-e5d58a8d141c.jpg?v=1709252414","url":"https:\/\/julesandavery.com\/products\/philip-pearlstein-view-over-soho-lower-manhattan","provider":"Jules \u0026 Avery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
