In Crown Heights, Brooklyn a frieze made by a Catholic artist for a New York City Housing Authority apartment complex was recently restored.

“Exodus and Dance,” designed by Richmond Barthe in 1941, depicts scenes from the Old Testament and images of African dancers.

After being cleaned of graffiti, it stands renewed for future generations to enjoy.
