Hidden, Forgotten, and Off-Radar Art Throughout the Big City
Sylvia Laudien-Meo, independent art historian
New York is not only a metropolis with major sights and collections but also a city with a complex layer of history and an incredible wealth of arts and culture. Exploring the city for decades with the eyes and passion of an art historian and tour guide, I learned about many curious, magnificent, hidden, remixed, dispersed, forgotten, or no longer mentioned fantastic art. Especially some of our older buildings have the most curious sculptural detail and hidden messages, some incredible treasures are accessible but not very well known, some of the past temporary Public Art Projects still survive, and some artworks might not register to you as such, even as you’re walking by them. My personal highlights are brought together for a virtual tour that will take us through NYC, old and new.
