MY_WTC Project / Robert Ziegler and Stefka Ammon

OPEN COLLECTION OF PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHS
The World Trade Center / Aug. 5th 1966 / Sep. 10th 2001

This blog’s aim is to create a comprehensive collection of private photographs of the former World Trade Center in NYC. The idea behind this project of Robert Ziegler and Stefka Ammon is to document and describe analytically the specific aura, meaning and significance of this architectural and cultural complex from the angle of visitors’ and tourists’ images from all over the World.

No long ago I was invited to participate in "MY_WTC Project".

And this is my collaboration to be seen from now on.

MY_WTC #446 | Jesus 1980 | Joan Miró – World Trade Center Tapestry


Published 02/07/2013
1980 was the year I left communist Cuba for a life of freedom in this great country.
The picture was taken by fellow artist, Ernesto Briel a renown geometric
Cuban artist, my partner, which died in 1992, in New York.
Visiting the towers together for the first time was a major part of an ongoing
celebration of a new promising life.
In addition to a personal matter on my behalf:, years before, in 1977, I was
awarded First Prize, for my artistic tapestries by the National Museum of
Decoratve Arts of Havana, Cuba, and this visit was my first encounter with
the ultra-famous Joan Miro’ tapestry.  http://my-wtc.com/446
