As consumers, we are constantly monitoring what we eat, and scrutinizing food product labels; but we don’t think as deeply about what we allow to touch our skin. Not many people are aware that a skincare product’s ingredients can, and do, find their way into our bloodstream. It’s a scary thought.

Beauties Sculpture Installation By John Monti in The Grace Building Lobby
I love a happy accident, which is what I have to call my discovery of this fun new exhibit by artist John Monti, which I spotted in the 42nd Street Lobby of The Grace Building as I walked past on the way to the F Train.
The installation, which is made up of seven amorphous-shaped bright Red and Lime Green sculptures, is called Beauties and it actually opens with a reception on Thursday, September 15th from 6 – 8 PM, which means there will probably be free wine!
Up close, you can see that the sculptures’ surfaces are covered with fine, sparkly glitter!
I enjoyed looking at them.
I know that if Geoffrey sees this photo he will say that they look like Sex Toys. Because they do.
Beauties will be on Exhibit through November 11th, 2016, at The Grace Building Lobby, Located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas (AKA Sixth Avenue), But the Main Entrance is on 42nd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues, just across the street from Bryant Park and New York Public Library. This exhibit is sponsored by Arts Brookfield.
