This monumental watercolor serves as a study for a sculpture featured in Arrechea’s No Limits series. Iconic landmarks such as the Met Life building, the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and seven others, rolled, wound, and spun their way down Park Avenue from 53rd to 67th Street in Spring 2013. No Limits subverts the verticality and rigidity of architecture and turns it elastic. The watercolor serves as a metaphor for the cultural and political shifts that occur with the rise and fall of the economy. He says, “I believe the same way that a building is exposed to daily elements and changes…cold, heat, rain, fog … it’s also exposed to constant changes in function.”
