Alexanders Mural Paramus, NJ
The store and the mural are gone. They dismantled the mural and scattered it around to different museums.
The Alexander's mural in Paramus was created by the Polish artist Stefan Knapp. Knapp was inspired by his experiences as a World War II pilot for the Royal Air Force, painting the 200-foot-long mural in an aircraft hangar in London using enamel and glass on steel. The 24-ton artwork, once a local landmark, was dismantled after Alexander's closed in 1998 and has since been conserved and reconfigured for permanent display at The New Valley Hospital in Paramus.
About the Artist and Artwork
Artist: Stefan Knapp (1921–1991), a Polish-born artist.
Inspiration: The mural was inspired by aerial views Knapp saw while flying for the Royal Air Force during World War II.
Materials: Knapp used a combination of steel, glass, and enamel to create the vibrant colors.
Size: The mural was originally about 200 feet long, composed of 280 large panels.
History of the Mural
Commission: The mural was commissioned in 1962 by the former owner of Alexander's, who was a fan of Knapp's work.
Display: It was installed on the exterior of the Alexander's department store in Paramus for over 35 years, becoming a local landmark.
Dismantling: When Alexander's closed in 1998, the mural was dismantled and its panels were stored for many years.
Return to Paramus: After a significant conservation effort, the panels are now being reconfigured and displayed at The New Valley Hospital campus.
