Description of Pictures: New York City: A Portrait Through Stamp Art
December 10, 2015 – March 13, 2017
Level 1: Mail in America Galleries
This exhibition of original artwork explores the diversity of topics highlighting the cultural heritage of New York City. The exhibition provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the Postmaster General’s Art Collection which the museum has acquired through a long-term agreement with the United States Postal Service. Thirty pieces of original artwork divided into six categories—Baseball, Broadway, City Life, Icons, Politics and Government, and Music—depict a variety of art styles and mediums used to create some of America’s most beautiful stamps. The artwork celebrates important citizens, events and iconic buildings that have defined New York City as one of the greatest cities in the world.
Six of the portraits, one from each category, will be temporarily on display at the World Stamp Show—NY 2016 (May 28, 2016 – June 3, 2016) as part of the museum’s major contribution to this once-per-decade international philatelic event.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. NYSTAM_151210_011.JPG: New York City has influenced American society through architecture, art, sports, politics, and other cultural forces. One reflection of the city's impact is the number of US postage stamps with a New York City connection. When the United States Postal Service (USPS) issued the voluminous Celebrate the Century stamp series, commemorating significant events across America during the twentieth century, 23 of the 150 stamps had a New York City connection. The artwork in this exhibition was commissioned by the USPS for stamp production. These pieces are part of the Postmaster General's Collection, which the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum acquired through a long-term agreement with the USPS. These original images offer a vibrant and colorful portrait of New York City through stamp art.
2. NYSTAM_151210_019.JPG: "The only credential the city asked was the boldness to dream. For those who did, it unlocked its gates and its treasures, not caring who they were or where they came from." -- Moss Hart

THANKSGIVING DAY PARADECommemorative stamps MEDIUM digital (pencil sketch, scanned, Adobe Illustrator) ILLUSTRATOR Paul Rogers (b. 1949) ART DIRECTOR Howard Paine FIRST DAY OF ISSUE September 2, 2009
13. NYSTAM_151210_104.JPG: Icons New York City's architecture and icons are immediately recognized around the world. Grand Central Station, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum are masterpieces of architectural design and engineering. These and other iconic landmarks help bring the city's history and stories to life, attracting visiting tourists and local New Yorkers alike. Music New York City is a vibrant hub for music, film, dance and visual art. The city's cultural and ethnic diversity has long influenced its music and dance heritage, with jazz, rock, hip-hop, salsa, and other styles thriving in all five boroughs. New York City is also home to many musical conservatories and landmarks, such as the Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall. City Life New York City grew from a small Dutch trading settlement called New Amsterdam in the early seventeenth century into a bustling multicultural city of more than 8 million people. Influenced by geography, and by ethnic, cultural and economic diversity, New York City has been a major entry port for immigrants from across the globe. Iconic elements of New York City life include its complex transportation system, established seasonal traditions, and recognizable popular culture personalities. Baseball New York City once had three major league teams: the New York Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the New York Giants. Fourteen World Series match-ups have pitted New York City teams against one another, and the famed Yankees have won the World Series 27 times. When a New Yorker (James Farley) became Postmaster General, he approved the issuance of the first baseball stamp in 1939 commemorating the baseball centennial. Broadway Broadway is much more than a major thoroughfare running through Manhattan. The word evokes the section of Broadway between 42nd Street and 53rd Street, which includes Times Square and is home to more than 40 professional theaters. This is the "Great White Way," where theater marquees illuminate the evening and convey the pulse of a city that never sleeps. Broadway has helped make New York City a cultural capital of the world. Politics New York City has one of the largest municipal governments in the US. The city's leaders have tended to champion progressive government initiatives and have frequently used their positions as springboards to state and national political roles. Because the city has a large immigrant population, municipal leaders have often exerted influence outside the US. The city's international role has attracted global institutions, such as the United Nations.
14. NYSTAM_151210_109.JPG: World Series Rivals depicts the crosstown rivalry between the Yankees and the Dodgers. During the 1950's, the Yankees played in eight World Series, including four against the Dodgers, who beat the Yankees once.
