NY, NY No. X 1948

"NY, NY No. X" (1948) by Hedda Sterne is a geometric abstract painting that captures the architectural complexity of New York City. This artwork is an example of Sterne's signature style, which combined Cubist influences with a bold, gestural approach to depicting urban landscapes. The painting's grid-like structure, composed of intersecting lines and planes of color, suggests the intricate framework of buildings, bridges, and other urban structures. The cool blue palette, punctuated by accents of yellow, red, and black, evokes the city's atmospheric quality.
