Abstract (en)

Discusses Rockburne's new murals in the Sky Lobby of Philip Johnson's skyscraper on Madison Avenue, New York City, once the headquarters of AT& T, and now the home of Sony Music Entertainment, which commissioned the murals. Notes the visionary strength of Northern Sky and Southern Sky, 1992, which confront each other on the north and south walls of the lobby, and describes the "bilateral global vision of electronic energy" which the murals depict.
