Ken Rush reflects on a clear autumn day from 1971, recalling how he captured the Brooklyn Bridge and under-construction World Trade Center, unaware of their tragic future.
Rush's painting is an embodiment of Brooklyn's essence, stating, 'Your feet are in Brooklyn. There's no way you can get the view if you're not in Brooklyn.'
After the 9/11 attacks, Rush recalls witnessing the collapse of the Twin Towers, remarking, 'It was inconceivable,' linking his past work with present tragedy.
The journey of Rush's lost painting culminated in its donation to the 9/11 museum, emphasizing its accidental significance and connection to historical events.
