During my last couple of trips to Manhattan, I got glimpses of workmen installing this new artwork. It is an amazing thing to see. These are scattered pieces of furniture and arches modeled after one of the grandest Fifth Avenue mansions - the now-demolished William C. Whitney Ballroom. Only these reproductions, as you can see, are made from concrete! The piece is called "Open House" by Liz Glynn, a Los Angeles Artist. It is located just north of Grand Army Plaza, at Fifth Avenue and 60th street.

Amazing to see delicate scroll work on chairs that are concrete. Very inventive.

It really is an amazing artwork. I love the idea of it - when you first see it you really stop short, thinking "What?"
The design along the bottom of the chair is remarkable. And to think it's made of concrete. Must be incredibly heavy! betsey
