This uncommon 1874 lithograph depicts the entrance to the legendary Dakota Building on 72nd Street in Manhattan. It is based upon the original painting, done the year earlier - and also offered exclusively by Alpha 137 Gallery, by the world's foremost architectural muralist and trompe d'oeil artist, Richard Haas - who, in addition to his many artistic distinctions, was profiled several years back by the prestigious CBS News cultural magazine show "Sunday Morning". The Dakota is best known as the residential apartment building where John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980 - six years after Richard Haas did this lithograph. Fully referenced in the Richard Haas catalogue raisonne by Brooke Alexander. Unframed and in excellent condition.
