This sculpture (Carol Feuerman's "Monumental Quan") currently graces the courtyard entrance of the Lotte New York Palace Hotel. This was originally the home of 19th-century railroad financier Henry Villard, then was the property of—more famously and with the addition of a 55-story glass and aluminum tower—Harry Helmsley and his wife (Leona, "the Queen of Mean") and also for a while the Sultan of Brunei.

This version of Monumental Quan, a bronzish version, fits its surroundings better than one of the hyperrealistic versions, methinks.
ReplyDeleteIt cannot be mere coincidence that this sculpture, also across the street from Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, has NO SNAKES!
Ah, this was my first and best NYC hotel experience back in 2009. It's a wonderful place but for some reason I don't remember the sculpture or Lotte being in the name. Oh well, you captured a great reflection on a cool sculpture. Nice shot!
