Arshile Gorky, Aerial Map, Federal Art Project mural, 1936-7: "Aerial Map," by painter Arshile Gorky, the Armenian-American Abstract Expressionist, was commissioned in 1936 for the Administration Building at Newark Liberty International Airport as part of the Depression-era WPA Art Project.  Two of the 10 original panels of the mural project, "Aviation: Evolution of Forms Under Aerodynamic Limitations," were rediscovered at the airport in 1972 as a result of scholarship by educator and scholar Ruth Bowman, and restored in the 1970's through the efforts of the Port Authority's Committee on Art. The mural is now on display at The Newark Museum, and is owned by The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the airport's operator. (All rights reserved.  The Port Authority of NY & NJ.)
