Item Details
Description
This is a miniature outsider art painting of New York by Benny Carter. The piece is unusual both because of its size and also because he made it into a battery-operated clock. The clock no longer works. It is signed Benny Carter in the top left. He has written on the bottom "Such a big place but so little time". He also signed Benny Carter on the left-hand part of the frame, November 29, 1943 on the right side and NY time on the bottom. This is all painted in great detail and has writing illustrating and naming different places. The taxis are cut from soda cans and applied to the frame. It is in excellent condition. The frame is 5 inches high by 3 7/8 inches wide. The overall size including the taxis is 6 1/4 inches high by approximately 5 inches wide. With the clock apparatus on the back it is approximately 2 inches deep.
