Newly adorning the High Line on the West Side of Manhattan is a mural by artist Nina Chanel Abney, entitled NYC LOVE. The piece is an homage to and celebration of New York City via its iconography. Abney first moved to New York as a self-described Midwestern suburbanite in 2005, and found great comfort and joy in some of the city’s more tourist-oriented icons that many longtime New Yorkers take for granted. NYC LOVE brings these icons to the forefront, recreating the joys of first experiencing those stimulating sights and sounds in Abney’s signature bright colors and geometric forms. The work graces the High Line, an icon in and of itself, welcoming millions of New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy all that the city has to offer. Like Abney, we have only love and gratitude for this city we call home.
