April 2012: unveiling of a major project, details still under wraps. To be notified when available, ask to be added to the Forgotten Delights mailing list.
Sunday 5/15/2011: Walking tour of sculptures from City Hall to Battery Park, about 2 hours, 1.5 miles, fee $25. Meet at the southwest corner of Chambers & Centre Streets at 2 p.m. If it's raining, we'll meet under the vaults of the Municipal Building, which is across Centre St., just north of the Brooklyn Bridge exit ramp.
Among the sculptures are representations of two media moguls, the spirit of 19th-c. capitalism, the energy and unpredictability of the stock market, and New York City in colonial and revolutionary times. Discussions will range from esthetics (how to look at art) to art history (where these works fit in the progress of American art) to history (who or what is being commemorated).
