Charles Saxon takes the time to note what is going by, but do his cyclists have the time to see what they are passing? Saxon captures the architectural grandeur and ambient light of these upscale homes so magnificently that the three bicyclists almost seem incidental. Note how deftly he handles the four receding planes of parked cars, cyclists, brownstones, and the high-rise. The auction gallery noted that this is "probably a
New Yorker cover illustration," but the gallery's sound instincts failed to propel the price to anywhere near the artwork's true worth.
