He received numerous important commissions from New York architects, developers, and contractors, including such major projects as Raymond Hood's Rockefeller Center. He also created classic and often atmospheric portraits of New York's changing skyline, bridges, and skyscrapers in the 1920s and 1930s. Gottscho made this view of New York Hospital (now New York Presbyterian Hospital) from underneath the Queensboro Bridge, which silhouettes the composition.
