Monika Sosnowska: Fir Tree, ending February 17

Public Art Fund is one of my favorite NYC institutions. Without the work they do, New York wouldn’t be as fun.  You must check out “Fir Tree,” an installation by the Polish artist Monika Sosnowska.  New York as a public setting for this piece couldn’t be more perfect. Go to the corner of 60th Street and 5th Avenue, where midtown meets central park. The 40 foot high steel spiral staircase has been manipulated using cranes and pulleys to resemble a tree.
