my nephew and i walked to the end of the highline this morning. i hadn't been to the 34th street section in awhile . . still lots of construction . . construction ending . . construction beginning . . construction continuing . .
the land of the steel cranes . .
looking west . . the path curves down to the right in the picture and ends (or begins) at 34th street and west street.
jason in front of zaha hadid's building. she was an architect who just passed away march 31st. she was the first woman to receive the pritzker architecture prize in 2004. in 2010 and 2011 she received the stirling prize. i love the way she incorporated curves into her buildings. jason is actually looking at a mural on a rooftop down below.
what jason was looking at down below the construction site . .
art work . .
the trees are beginning to turn green . .
fothergilla mount airy or dwarf fothergilla . . a plant actually native to the american continent.
at the whitney museum . . this is duane hanson's woman with dog . . from 1977 (acrylic and oil on cast polyvinyl). the whitney changed their galleries and all the paintings i wanted to show my nephew, and my sister when she comes, have been replaced with a portrait exhibition. i'm very disappointed.
