Hildreth Meière (1892-1961) was a renowned Art Deco muralist, whose numerous commissions grace government and commercial buildings and houses of worship across the country. In midtown Manhattan alone, Meière’s mosaics decorate Temple Emanu-El and St. Bartholomew’s Church, where she also designed the stained glass clerestory windows. Her enormous mixed-metal and enamel sculptures adorn the façade of Radio City Music Hall. In lower Manhattan, Meière’s mosaics can be seen in the dramatic Red Banking Room at One Wall Street, and in the landmarked lobby of the Walker-Lispenard Building. Curator Catherine Coleman Brawer, author of Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meière, will lead two tours, one Uptown & one Downtown. The Uptown is scheduled for Tuesday, April 23rd at 1:00 p.m. The date of the Downtown is to be determined; but will be scheduled within 3 weeks following the Uptown Tour.
