There were so many great piece of art at the Independent Art Fair on 22nd Street this past weekend, but one of the my favorite pieces was presented by Mitterrand + Sanz, an art gallery located in Zurich, Switzerland. The small and very provocative artwork pictured above is constructed of blue neon tube and is by the talented Chapuisat Brothers. I didn't ask how much it was going for, but I'm sure it was snapped up right away because a lot of people seemed to take a great deal of interest in it. I'll take two of them.

Maya Lin in Chelsea
I went to a few art galleries in Chelsea in the late afternoon on Saturday and I liked the Maya Lin exhibition at PaceWildenstein. Her work has always been good and I especially enjoy her environmental work, but these were really excellent. This piece pictured above is called "2 x 4 Landscape" and brings the artist's vision to life through an architectural rendering of nature. It's made out of over 50,000 vertical two-by-four pieces of wood and resembles a wave or small hill. It rises like a wave to nearly 10 feet high at its peak and occupies a total of 1,900 square feet. Too bad it doesn't fit into my apartment. It would look really good. Some smart museum or collector with a huge exhibition space will definitely buy this piece.This is definitely a work of art you have to see in person to fully appreciate the majesty of it. That's the thing about art, it's not always possible to experience it virtually. Like many things, there are some things in life that are meant to be seen in person or face to face. You just can't enjoy them any other way.

Matching Shoes
This is one example of the appropriate way to wear high heels while riding a bike on a Saturday afternoon across 5th Avenue and 22nd Street. Her shoes match the purse and flower headgear. I would seriously recommend she replace the flower with a helmet and chain that purse down in the basket. I went and looked around at Restoration Hardware if you were wondering.
