Edward Meshekoff

Edward Meshekoff (1917 in Bronx, New York City – 2010) was an American artist, illustrator and designer.

He was a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, Meshekoff worked and lived in both Los Angeles and New York City.

In 1957 Meshekoff designed a pair of mosaic map murals of New York City's five boroughs, which were installed on the walls of a newly built Information Center located in a traffic island in the center of Times Square (in more recent years, the building has served as an NYPD police substation.) As of 2016, Meshekoff's mosaic maps are scheduled for restoration and relocation to a yet-to-be determined new location.

His commissions included the design of a children's playroom aboard the SS United States, illustrations for a 1952 children's book, The Little Car That Wanted a Garage, as well as wall murals, and decorative design elements such as a sculpted overdoor sailing ship. Edward worked with Philip Johnson on larger projects including; The south building of Lincoln Center, formerly known as The NY State Theater (home to NYC Ballet) and The Kreeger Museum. He was commissioned by other notable architects including Alfred Easton Poor.
