Are you into rooftop views of New York City while taking in world class art? Us too. That's why now's the time to get to The Met: Frank Stella's sculptures recently took up residence on the museum's roof.
Huge pieces, made from steel and carbon fiber, Stella's sculptures aren't easy to get a handle on, but as long as you're drinking in the skyline, you might as well ponder the meaning of it all. Besides, The Met is branching out with this one--though Stella has long been an established artist, the uptown museum sometimes has trouble dealing with contemporary art. If The Met can do it, so can you.
But if PoMo architectural sculptures aren't your thing, don't despair. Another show might strike your fancy, but you'll need to act fast. Barcelona and Modernity: Gaudi to Dali--featuring tons of furniture and modern and surrealist paintings--closes this Sunday, June 3.
