Sculptures by Arrechea on View on Park Avnue

NYC we love it!  We also love the public artwork on view for all New Yorkers (& tourists.)  On Park Ave, 54th-67th, there are amazing, large scale sculptures (some up to 20') by the Cuban born artist, Alexandre Arrechea.  Arrechea entitled this exhibit, "No Limits."  These works mirror some of NYC landmark buildings:  Flatiron, Chrsyler, Citicorp.  They are towering, impressive structures that demand your attention.  They structures interact with the viewer, casting reflections back to the viewer giving a fierce yet engaging reaction.  The works are reminiscent of "Big Brother Watching," all too prominent in NYC.  I do believe that cameras monitering public places mitigate crime, particularily violent crime.  I would like to get rid of "gotcha" stop-light cameras.  Anyone able to fix my ticket?  (Oh well…)  Some of Arrechea's drawing have become part of MoMA's permanent collection.  He first came to attention in the States with his "Garden of Mistrust," public sculpture in LA, '03-05'.  The sculpture  was of a stark white tree with multiple video cameras poking out - reminding me of the trees from the original Wizard of Oz  (not the brainless OZ remake.)  In '97, Arrechea received 1st prize in the Contemp. Art People's Award in Argentina & in '00, he was awarded the Fomento de las Artes Award in Cuba.  I recommend strolling down Park Avenue (speeding by not recommended) and walk around  the impressive sculptures that enhance the beauty of Park Avenue & our fair city (except for the despised clandestine cameras.)
