Acrylic, 110' x 20-26' -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., 1998.

| Description | Endangered species, 1990, 801 Ocean Front Walk (at Park Avenue), right. The top right of the mural portrays the sunset with once endangered pelicans flying through the sky. In the middle, the wheels of a bulldozer (the developers) racing through the middle of Venice, ruthlessly running over everyone and anyone that gets in their way (the hand from underneath wheels) and spewing money for themselves. In the bottom right, the dolphins representing the endangered sea life and a store mannequin wearing expensive clothes with holes in them fashioned by the homeless -- interpretation by artist Emily Winters, fax dated November 12, 2011. |
