Phillips de Pury Windows Suddenly Hot Ticket, Thanks to High Line

Since the opening of the wildly popular High Line park last month, Phillips‘ exhibition galleries now face one of the most appealing sections of the park creating an instant art billboard.
Phillips wasted no time commissioning sculptor Nils Folke Anderson who created an installation catering to the estimated 40,000 visitors who traverse the walkway on weekends.
Anderson’s geometric interlocking square frames, “After Before and After,” are on view from August 10 to Sept. 6.
I just saw them last week and went into Phillips to see the installation. It is a great contribution to the High Line to display art works but, that is the room used for the auctions.
I wonder if the auction will still go on there, so the High Line passerbyers can’t see it live.
looks cool
