The Bookstore deftly joins two favorite haunts of New York City book lovers—the Isaac Mendoza Book Company, the oldest secondhand bookshop in NYC, and the Pierpont Morgan Library—into a work of art. The piece incorporates many of the themes that run through Grooms’ best work: the marriage of art and commerce, the clash of high and low, colorful New York characters, and an inviting three-dimensional space that envelops and transports the viewer.
