All...

Please be careful when researching artists' info! Racquel Roberts is NOT the artist, and wasn't even alive when these pieces were donated. Please see information below, quoted directly from the Empire State Building's website (www.esbnyc.com)...

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, exhibited in the 34th Street corridor of the main lobby of the Empire State Building, New York City, are:

Great Cheops Pyramids
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus
Temple of Diana
Lighthouse of Pharos
Tomb of King Mausolus
and the 8th Wonder: The Empire State Building

These illuminated glass paintings were given to the building in June of 1963 by the artists who created them, Roy Sparkia and his wife, Renee Nemerov.

Specifically, look at the website's "virtual tour." Then click "lobby." Pictures 3, 4, and 5 all show the "Eight Wonders" series on permanent display.
