On my walk…a wonderful find

Or…have someone near and dear tell you about it

I knew where my walk was taking me today and I was excited. I was told about an interesting artist whose works were in the window of the Gagosian Gallery on Park Avenue. So I got into warm clothes and ventured out.

One of my joys in the City is finding free and wonderful things to do. This was one of them. The windows in the gallery will be lit 24 hours a day through January. I’m pretty sure I’ll be back again a few times and probably at least once in the evening hours to see how they illuminate the art.

The artist is EWA JUSZKIEWICZ, born in 1984 in Poland. One of her quotes:
“I find the boundary between beauty and ugliness very fluid.”

I took this photo on my phone from the side window on 75th street, I was there all told about 20 minutes, talking to other people who stopped. I didn’t know a great deal about her, but I’ve been reading. Critics have described her “meticulous technique” with “touches of the surreal, the fantastical and the grotesque.” (from Gagosian website) My reaction? The classics with a twist. Wow!

I’m an art history buff and love discovering artists even if they’ve been around for a while, she is a great find. If you get a chance look her up and read what she has to say about her work and women.

LOVE THIS CITY1

On my walk…Glimpses

OR…sometimes a narrow space brings surprises!

Only a few yards wide, but finding these narrow spaces is fun… the last photo (all pics by me) shows a car that squeezed into its slim spot. When taking these shots, I just have to watch out for dogs, people, scaffolding, signs, strollers, garbage cans and always cars. So far I’m good. and I’ve also avoided whatever lingers of the wiped up doggie doo!

LOVE THIS CITY!

On my walk…Could spend a lot of time at this place.

Or…it’s all about the newly opened Pier 26 in Tribeca

I was in Tribeca visiting family and we walked over to the newly opened Pier 26. What an amazing addition to the Hudson River waterfront. This Pier has spectacular views with an abundance of places to sit and kids to play. Plus, it’s a recreational, educational and most importantly an ecological space; all rolled into one. And, if time allows, stop to enjoy the view with a nice glass of something at the restaurant near the entrance of the Pier.

LOVE THIS CITY!

KAY’S NOTES: I highly recommend a visit to the entire area. Check out the website https://hudsonriverpark.org/locations/pier-26/

“On my walk”…9/11

Or…So appreciative of these beautiful arrangements on Friday

The floral artistry of Lewis Miller provides a wonderful 9/11 tribute on Fifth Avenue at 58th, 55th and 52nd Streets with his spectacular flower flash (His name for these works) designs

KAY’S NOTES: Miller and his team come in the very early morning hours to set up the flower flash and then dissappear as New Yorkers wake up to these stunning pieces.

LOVE THIS CITY!
