Went to the Pratt Institute in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and I walked around their campus. This sculpture by Phillip Grausman stands out, especially in the gray of winter. It’s called “Victoria & Eucantha.”

graves.jpgWent to Church of St. John’s in the Wilderness (Episcopal) in Bear Mountain State Park, New York, and came across these three markers: father, mother, baby. They are part of the larger tombstone behind them.

Martin Puryear’s sculptures are on display in the main space at the MoMA. It’s mini-retrospective, and it takes over the entire space — all the way up into the five-story atrium. Amazing work.

Went to Lever House a few times this season to see the Damien Hirst installation School: The Archaeology Of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity And The Search For Knowledge. It was stunning. The lambs in tanks are the “students.”

On view until Feb. 16 at Lever House Lobby Gallery, 390 Park Avenue

I saw this yesterday. It’s a window at the ABC store on Broadway — just up from Union Square. I was definitely intrigued.
