Twice annually — in the spring and then again in late summer — New York’s  Public Art  Fund  installs a new site-specific artwork in Central Park’s Doris C. Freedman Plaza, and it’s always fun and exciting to see that the next sculpture will be. However, with the recently- installed Parabolic Light, a translucent magenta obelisk by artist Fred Eversley, New Yorkers will get to enjoy its reflective glow  for an entire year!

I guess it’s been a long time since I strolled around Sixth Avenue in Midtown, because I only just saw La Gran Manzana (The Big Apple) a very eye-catching public sculpture by Mexican artist Enrique Cabrera, which has apparently been on view since last December. Doh!

Do you love the art of Robert Rauschenberg? I sure do. I was super excited last week to pop into Gladstone Gallery (it had been a while between visits) to find that they’re currently hosting an exhibition of Rauschenberg’s layered, multidimensional wall- mounted and sculptural works from his Spreads and Scales series. You rarely see these works outside of a museum, and this is the first show to highlight the two related series —  made between 1975 and 1983 — in New York for more than 40 years. These important bodies of work demonstrate the artist’s unparalleled ability to expand the artistic possibilities of recognizable, everyday objects by ingeniously juxtaposing and combining forms in space.

Even if you’ve been attending New York’s biannual Affordable Art Fair for the past decade, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the blocks-long queue snaking east from the Metropolitan Pavilion for that of yet another big retail chain’s going-out-of-business sale. On my way to the Wednesday night Private View, I thought maybe the Container Store was in its final days, so it was kind of crazy to realize that the line lead directly to my destination, meaning the AAF is back post-Covid as a bona fide social event, attracting an eclectic group of VIPS, art enthusiasts, collectors, and assorted fans. Judging by the body-to-body crowd and vibrant atmosphere inside the venue, art events have entered a new, new normal. Welcome to it.

Happy National LEGO Day, 2023!

Today, January 28th, is National LEGO Day for 2023! Did you even know that such a day exists? I probably did, but you are excused if you had no idea, because who would? Please enjoy this photo of a Giant LEGO Gandalf, the Wizard from Lord of The Rings, that I snapped while visiting the LEGO Store on Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street in Manhattan. If you want to see him for yourself, he’s probably still there!
