This pigment print was made in 2011. It is signed, titled, and dated in pencil by the artist on verso; artist's wet stamp also on verso. Architect B. Marcus Priteca designed the 1930 Pantages Theater (6233 Hollywood Boulevard) in the Art Deco style, which is a two-story concrete structure featuring Egyptian lotus patterns on the second story and metal zigzag frames outlining the first story windows. This building became Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #193 in 1978 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District in 1985.; The extensive portfolio of photographic artist Carol Westwood (1942-2011), a native New Yorker who lived in Los Angeles for many years, includes a diverse array of subjects: animals, nudes, American and European cities, and portraits. Additionally, she worked on special and still photography for numerous motion picture and television productions in Hollywood; the archive of her entertainment and celebrity images was distributed internationally by Gamma, Liaison International, Stone Images, and Getty images from 1988-2003. Looking down from the Taft Building across Hollywood Boulevard, showing cars traveling in both directions past the Pantages Theatre (left). Neighboring commercial buildings, some of which have since been demolished, are visible just east of Argyle Avenue (center) and north of Hollywood Boulevard.
