Tom Friedman s 10-foot tall sculpture looking up displayed at Rockefeller Center
The mold for Friedmans Looking Up was created with crushed aluminum foil pans.
NEW YORK, NY
.- Looking Up, a 10-foot tall stainless steel sculpture by American artist Tom Friedman, depicting a quasi-human figure gazing up to the heavens, is being displayed at the entrance of Rockefeller Centers Channel Gardens located on 5th Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, Manhattan, from January 20 March 19.

Klaus von Nichtssagend exhibits a series of photographs by Barry Stone
Installation view.
NEW YORK, NY
.- Barry Stone is presenting a series of photographs in an exhibition entitled Drift in the main gallery at Klaus von Nichtssagend January 15 through February 21. This new work emanated from a car accident Stones family survived while on a summer road trip from their home in Austin, Texas to Bailey Island, Maine.
In addition to smashing the family car, the crash caused a portfolio of Stones photographs taken the previous summer to scatter across the highway. Despite this harrowing encounter, Stone at once began photographing the scene of the accident, and as the family resumed their journey north, he continued to take pictures of their trip.

If we were to make a shortlist of rare cars we always dreamed of owning, the Plymouth Superbird would certainly be on it. Chrysler s massively-winged machine, a constant presence on the auction blocks across America, has everything going for it: looks like no other (except the Dodge Charger Daytona), immense amounts of power, and a NASCAR racing pedigree. 31 photos
So, in short, we’ve seen Superbirds selling before, but we don’t remember the last time two of them, meticulously restored and packing all the right hardware, went under the same hammer. They’re not selling together, true, but just being there at the same time is an event in itself.
