Mural by Josef Albers

Manhattan is a large scale mural by the German artist and colorist Josef Albers. The mural was first installed in New York City's MetLife Building, originally the Pan Am Building.

It is now installed in the lobby of the MetLife Building, and placed backwards at the summit of the escalators of the modernist skyscraper and Grand Central Terminal's Main Concourse. The work, 28 feet (8.5 m) tall by 54 feet (16 m) wide, was created using formica in red, white, and black. The original work was laden with asbestos.
