Whaling Mural Project:

Knox Martin's Whaling mural project depicts the tragedy of commercial whaling. In association with The Artists' Museum of New York City, it is a vehicle to help raise awareness that this abhorrent practice is still taking place and continues to pose a significant threat to whales around the world.

"Powerful work." - Jud Hindes

Knox Martin plans to paint his mural on buildings in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Vancouver that are highly visible, so that it reaches the greatest number of people and becomes an integral part of the city's fabric.

Knox Martin has painted several beautiful and highly visible murals over the years. Of these, he is probably best known for his creation Venus – a 12-story painting on the west side of Manhattan. To see this and other works by Knox Martin, click here.

The  work is shown in mock-up below from the maquettes as it will appear when completed. The view is from Hudson Street, between Houston and Clarkson Streets. Variations of the work will also be impacting viewers in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Vancouver.
