The Teardrop New Yorker was a commissioned piece by musician Pete Girardi of the Teardrops. The famous shape quickly became a collectorsу piece. James DуAquisto and John Monteleone have both been commissioned to attempt the form. All three iterations of the Teardrop are on display together for the first time at this exhibit.
