Note: In the 1980s Fritz Scholder's subject matter moved away from the Native American. He had acquired a studio loft in Manhattan, from which he could see the Empire State Building. The iconic structure was explored in many works by the artist, and his title of this work can be said to reflect his continued interest in the metaphysical as he moved away from the human figure as subject. .
