Artist in Residence at the Empire State Building Jeremy Wolff, together with Legion Paper Corp, recently gifted six pieces of artwork to Montefiore Health System. The work, created during the height of the pandemic in New York, is called “Air Frontline” and depicts frontline workers in famous poses by basketball legend, Michael Jordan.
On Thursday, Oct. 15, the artwork was installed at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore and it will rotate around various Montefiore sites to remind associates that they are healthcare heroes. Jeremy Wolff is a New York City based, Contemporary Artist with a focus in pop culture and current events.
A short video of an unveiling of the new artwork honoring the healthcare heroes at Montefiore can be viewed in the following tweet.
