- Historical Notes
- Inspired by the sight of his grieving neighbors comforting one another after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, New York City resident David Stern created a series of five paintings collectively titled The Gatherings. Together the paintings are a memorial to those who were killed on 9/11 and a tribute to those who held vigils in their honor, lit candles, and brought flowers to local firehouses and police stations that were missing personnel.
