This week’s Pink Thing(s) of the Day dives into the heart of Times Square, where an eye-catching display of New York City souvenirs transforms classic icons into a pink paradise. In a sea of neon lights and bustling crowds, it was refreshing to see these quintessentially New York items — rubber ducks (including one with a playful Statue of Liberty pose), a crystal apple paperweight, heart-shaped New York badges, eyeglass case, and even mini snow globes — stand out in rosy hues.

American artist Robert Gober (b. 1954) meticulously hand-makes his objects rather than purchasing them. Often, he and his team of studio assistants will use traditional art-making techniques or materials. The aim is not to imitate an object exactly, but to create a sensation of something recognizable yet strange. Such is the case with Dog Bed (1986–87).

Sculptures By Franz West

Julian Schnabel’s paintings don’t do a lot for me, but if they give you a little stiffy then you should head over to the cavernous Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea to check out the exhibit entitled View of Dawn in the Tropics: Paintings, 1989–1990, featuring HUGE (and by huge I mean very large in size) Schnabel paintings that are being shown for the first time in 25 years.

Sculptures By Franz West

Like I said, Schnabel’s paintings (which take up most of the gallery space) were kind of a yawnfest for me, but I was quite charmed by this group of colorful Sculptures displayed in a front room of the gallery, which are by the artist Franz West. They remind me of papier-mâché cartoon ducks.
