Jessica Daryl Winer's artwork Sardi's Screens was unveiled to the press at a private party at the famed Broadway restaurant Sardi’s. The mural is on permanent exhibition in the restaurant’s legendary banquet space, The Eugenia Room. The seven panels (7’5” x 25’) depict over 150 Broadway legends from the last century, both past and present, in their signature roles. The screens are adapted from Winer's mural Curtain Call which was originally commissioned in 1998 for the Times Square Visitors Center in the restored Embassy Theatre on Broadway. At that time it was dedicated by Kitty Carlisle Hart and over the ensuing six years was viewed by an estimated 6 million visitors. The Sardi’s party was attended by many Broadway, performing arts and art world luminaries, including Patricia Neal, Tammy Grimes, Bebe Neuwirth, Cynthia Gregory and LeRoy Neiman.
