Park Avenue Paper Chase: Part 2

I got so many beautiful shots of Alice Aycock's installation

that I had to post a second set of pictures right away. 

The swirling shapes of the sculptures are the perfect contrast

to the straight vertical lines of the tall buildings that surround them. 

Practically every photo is a winner. 

And, I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite -- photo or sculpture.

But it's interesting to note that this sculpture -- called "Maelstrom" is 70 feet long

and is the largest art piece featured on the avenue since displays began in 1969. 

See it while you can! 

The exhibit ends July 20th.

Here's a link to the Architectural Digest article about the exhibit.

Park Avenue Paper Chase

Hats off to Alice Aycock creator of the latest sculpture series on Park Avenue. 

Her seven sculptures, made from aluminum and fiberglass,

 line the avenue from 52nd Street to 66th Street. 

And they will remain there through July 20th,

so you still have plenty of time to check them out. 

While I have enjoyed all the sculptures displayed over the years,

these are my favorites. 

Ms. Aycock says they were inspired by the thought of a brisk wind moving up the avenue and blowing paper around. 

How appropriate. 

Although the real thing seldom looks so pretty.

Here's a link to the New York Times article about the exhibit.
