Curator's Comment
Constantine Economos cherished opportunities to be with family, especially at Christmas. He enjoyed attending church with his wife, Audrey, and his two children, Constantine and Katherine, on Christmas morning. Afterward, they would host extended family at their Brooklyn home. Knowing Constantine’s love for the holiday and his sense of humor, Audrey and the children gave him this Christmas tree necktie. They were surprised when Constantine, an executive, wore the tie to work. Whenever Constantine “walked in the room,” recalled a colleague, “everything got funnier and better.”
