About
Shimmering art deco skyscraper from 1930 whose spire once made it the world's tallest building.
The Chrysler Building is one of the defining works of American Art Deco — completed in 1930 to briefly become the world's tallest building, with William Van Alen's stainless steel eagle gargoyles and sunburst crown among the most recognized architectural images in New York. A masterpiece of the skyscraper as decorative object, and a permanent rebuke to the idea that tall buildings cannot be beautiful.
