Amsterdam Art Gallery
Logan Roy, the villainous, power-mongering patriarch of HBOMax’s popular program, Succession, has been framed — on the Upper West Side.
Captured looking every bit the over-stuffed, larger-than-life, menacing media mogul he represents on television, Roy – also known as actor Brian Cox – wasn’t entrapped by wily competitors or any one of his duplicitous, money-grubbing children. The job was the work of local businessman Karim Rhamatzada, owner of Amsterdam Art Gallery at 453 Amsterdam Avenue between 81st and 82nd Street.
Yes, that kind of “framed.”
Succession is just one of many television and film productions that the humble framer has done work for over the 40-plus years he has been in business. Sex and the City, Blackish, The Knick. The list goes on, until Rhamatzada admits, “I did work for so many shows. I forgot their names, probably, if you ask me.”
