Bed of Roses...

Park Avenue will soon be coming up roses, thanks to artist Will Ryman.  Later today, "The Roses" will be unveiled along the mall from 57th street to 67th street.  Inspired by the opening sequence of Blue Velvet, a film by David Lynch, the installation aims to look beyond the perception of perfection, and delve into the primal underworld of beauty.  Made of fiberglass and stainless steel, some of the exaggerated flowers hover twenty-five feet above ground.  One and two feet long beetles and ladybugs peer out of some forty buds, ranging from five to ten feet in diameter.  Ryman brings some welcomed whimsey to mask the looming winter months.   The installation will be in view thru May 31st.

The Original...

Bill Cunningham is the eighty-one year old mastermind behind "On the Street" and "Evening Hours", the original street style photographer for the New York Times.  Last spring, filmmaker Richard Press, released Bill Cunningham New York, a documentary of the man behind the lens.  After nearly a decade of pursuing the legendary photographer, Cunningham obliged.  Following him home from fashions most exclusive parties, on his Schwinn of course, to his tiny apartment above Carnegie Hall.  Film crews trailed him from New York Fashion Week in 2008, to Paris where he was awarded the title chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.  
A must see for anyone who has ever spotted Bill in his electric blue french sanitation jacket, standing on the corner of 57th Street and 5th Avenue, or had a glimpse of him spinning by on one of his twenty-eight bicycles.
