Comment du Jour

Sideways Swimming Pool?

                                                             Van Goghs Ear 


Amid the Art Deco architectural splendor of New York's Rockefeller Center complex, there's a new attraction politely described as public art.  Van Gogh's Ear is a 30 foot sideways swimming
pool, stood upright, on the plaza which is best known for the iconic seasonal Christmas Tree.

 Elmgreen and Dragset, a Danish/Norwegian artistic duo,  says their design is meant to visually attract attention and provoke thought.   

 It certainly does.
