Whenever I meet my father for lunch, I walk past Lever House. Lever House, a recently renovated office building on Park Avenue houses a public exhibition space in it’s lobby and courtyard. Whoever acts as their curator does not shy away from works that can really smack you upside the head.

While I was pregnant and up until recently, I would walk past Damien Hirst’s Virgin Mother.

As I waddled past during my last trimester, I found myself queasy looking at this cross-section. But whatever I thought of it, one thing was for sure, I was impressed by it’s imposing presence.

Then, to my surprise, the Virgin Mother was gone. In her place was a gigantic wind-up Hello Kitty statue by Tom Sachs. Joining her are various “weeping” character fountains. When I returned, I brought my camera.

I love them and I am disturbed by them all at the same time. In response I whipped up a postcard to send friends and loved ones…

Maybe before my next lunch with Dad, I will sit in the plaza and fill some of these out and pop ‘em in the mail.
