| Vin Cipolla, President of the Municipal Art Society, remarked in his welcoming address that this year is also the 100th Anniversary of the Grand Central Terminal itself. He didn't say this but I was reminded elsewhere that this is the 100th Anniversary of the Federal Reserve, started by Paul Warburg and associates; and also the year of the death of J. Pierpont Morgan, a one-man Fed himself, not to mention his commitment to art and architecture. |
