Perspectives of Queens

Perspectives of Queens: Drawings by Joseph LoGuriato

This exhibit showcases historically significant structures in Queens through a series of drawings by artist Joe LoGuirato. Spotlighting the borough’s architectural heritage, the 16 drawings depict structures within Queens that are either NYC designated landmarks or are worthy of adding to that list. Sites depicted include: the Jamaica Savings Bank (Jamaica Avenue and 161 Street); Republican Club (Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill); Grace Church (Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica); Hell Gate Bridge (connecting Ward’s Island to Astoria); the Poppenhusen Institute (College Point); Sidewalk Clock (Jamaica Avenue and 161 Street); Elk's Club (Queens Boulevard); Union Church (Astoria); Town Hall (Flushing); Ahles House (39 Avenue and 213 Street in Bayside); the Stone House (35 Avenue and Bell Boulevard in Bayside), and Ridgewood Theater (Myrtle Avenue); among others. LoGuirato is a native New Yorker who derives inspiration from the city’s streets, skyline and array of building facades and architectural details. These elements are repeatedly reflected in his work. The Art Director for the Office of Communications at Brooklyn College and an Adjunct Professor in the Art and Design Department of New York City College of Technology, LoGuirato holds a BFA from Queens College and an MA from Brooklyn College. He has had four one-person exhibits, and has participated in many group shows throughout the metropolitan area, including the 2008 Celebration of the Arts at BHS in which he won second prize.
