A: Is for art that is found everywhere!

I know that Jeff Koons is considered a highly respected artist, but to me it looks like he went shopping at "Toys are Us." Like Jack, he found those magic pellets that blow-up into toys when you add water and viola famous artist. Art is suggestive and right now for the public to decide at the MET is an installation of sculptures featuring three of the artist’s works that have never before been seen. The works are set in the most dramatic outdoor space for sculpture in New York City: The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, which offers a spectacular view of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Beverage and sandwich service is available from 10:00 a.m. until closing. So enjoy a cappuccino as the sunsets and enjoy. Also at the MET opening tomorrow is the Medieval and Renaissance Treasures from the Victoria and Albert Museum. The institution is currently undergoing extensive renovations, providing a rare opportunity for the museum to lend some of its precious medieval and Renaissance works. On display at the Metropolitan are 35 treasures from the collection that are seldom lent, and most have not been seen previously in New York. Included is an ivory statuette of the crucified Christ by Giovanni Pisano, Donatello’s bronze Winged Putto with Fantastic Fish, , and the Codex Forster 1, one of Leonardo da Vinci's treasured notebooks.

This week at the Javits is the furniture design show but on-line from Japan I found this Rocket Table. Talk about clever!



Advertising also offers some great art offerings. Tell me those don't get the point across.





Art is found every where and that is a F.A.C.T.
