Oval murals nearly eight feet tall by the German-born American artist Winold Reiss, shown in Bernard Goldberg’s gallery space, were part of a series of eight that originally hung in a Longchamps restaurant in the Empire State Building. They were long presumed lost or destroyed until the gallery director, Ken Sims, spotted them -- still unidentified -- while browsing an online marketplace.
