New Amsterdam Theatre, New York, NY Decorative painting restoration throughout Art Nouveau-style theater which had been dark for 20 years and badly water damaged due to a caved-in roof. Project architect was Hugh Harding, who prescribed complex glazing techniques overtop very elaborate ornamental plaster through-out the theatre, most especially the house ceiling and balcony faces, silver leaf with amber shellac in the domes of the Grand Promenade and the seraphim covering the entire ceiling of the (former) Men's Club Room, stenciling in the box seats and barrel vault of the Reception Room, mural replication, restoration of encaustic portraits, faux stone over bas relief panels which depict scenes from classic plays (Shakespeare, Euripides, etc.) in the entrance.
