Alexandra Forbes, special to New York for Insiders
Here's something you shouldn't miss if you go to New York this fall: the amazing art installation on show at the and the work is described in detail on the Met's site:
"American artist Roxy Paine (b. 1966) has created a 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture, especially for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Giving viewers the sense of being immersed in the midst of a cataclysmic force of nature, Maelstrom is Paine’s largest and most ambitious work to date."
On Fridays and Saturdays, they serve drinks on the rooftop until 8h15 PM - we can't think of a better way to spend an early evening in New York!
