One night only! For six years, Melati, 18, has been fighting the plastic pollution that is ravaging her country, Indonesia. Like her, a generation is rising up to fix the world. Everywhere, teenagers and young adults are fighting for human rights, the climate, freedom of expression, social justice, access to education or food. Dignity. Alone against all odds, sometimes risking their lives and safety, they protect, denounce and care for others. The earth. And they change everything.

These Hyperrealistic Swimming Sculptures Are Making A Splash On Park Avenue
You may remember the “origami-polygonal shaped” animal sculptures that turned Park Avenue into a wild jungle with colorful roaming creatures last year, but this year they’re splashing into something different!
World-renowned artist, Carole A. Feuerman, and leading international art gallery, Galeries Bartoux, have unveiled their stunning hyperrealistic swimming sculptures that are plunging into Park Avenue, just in time for the warm weather.
Carole A. Feuerman is an American sculptor and author known for her hyperrealistic works of art.
Being one of the three artists credited with starting the movement in the late 1970s, she is best known for her works depicting swimmers and dancers and is the only woman to sculpt in this style.
“This exhibition is not just about art but about creating a moment of pause and reflection for the viewers. A unique opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse yourself in a surreal world of art,” said Carole A. Feuerman.
These hyperrealistic swimming sculptures are Patrons of Park Avenue’s (POPA) second ever art installation, and they’ve popped up on Park Avenue between 34th and 38th Streets in Murray Hill.
“We are honored to surprise you with the monumental artworks of hyperrealism pioneer Carole A. Feuerman on the famous Park Avenue malls of New York City. For 30 years we have strived to make art like this accessible to as many people as possible,” said Laura Bartoux of Galeries Bartoux.
This isn’t the only stunning outdoor artwork currently in NYC right now, however. Find some other amazing outdoor art exhibitions here.

DWELL: 210 WEST 122ND STREET TOWNHOUSE
Harlem Bespoke: Number 210 West 122nd Street was up for sale before the pandemic with the asking set at $3.7 million and now the listing returned to the market for the spring 2023 season for an upgraded $4.9 million.
As previously mentioned, the location just west of 7th Avenue is ideal because of the proximity to the express trains on 125th Street but potential buyers might want to check out the Certificate of Occupancy since this townhouse was previously an SRO. Apparently everything now is currently set up as a Bed and Breakfast and the listing mentions as much. Everything looks to be in good condition within but there are quite a few bathrooms located on each of the floors because of the hotel situation. More details on Streeteasy: LINK

☞ REMEMBER: THE HARLEM OPERA HOUSE ON 125TH
Harlem Bespoke: Another post from a decade ago on the blog features the forgotten Harlem Opera House that was one of the major attractions on uptown’s commercial boulevard. Sadly enough, opera did not last long in Harlem and the building was eventually torn down decades later.
The above photo of the Harlem Opera House that was at 211 West 125th Street (between ACP/7th and FDB/8th) probably shows the building around 1889 when it was just finished. The pavement on 125th Street was still cobblestone at the time and notice the small country house to the right of the majestic structure. By the turn of the last century, a low corner building would replace the estate and that said construction would survive the Opera House itself. The more current photo shows the building that replaced the neoclassical structure in the 1960’s (at left) and the commercial development which was built over the bucolic manor. See our past post on the Harlem Opera House for more photos and background information: LINK
