This visual essay of Anish Kapoor's Sky Mirror installation caused me a great deal of mirth. First, because photographer Robert Alan Espino had me in stitches with the tale of his (seemingly endless) cellular 'walk and talk' while trying to locate the sculpture. Now, you'd think that a 35-foot in diameter piece of art would be hard to miss but, dependent on the angles of both viewer and daylight, no, 't ain't necessarily so. Not when one is staring directly at perfect mirror images, as it happens.

I also found it amusing that every shot Robert sent contained numerous onlookers with cameras at the ready. The shooters themselves - not so funny - but I was remembering the "no photography without permits" flap over Kapoor's Cloud Gate (a.k.a.: "The Bean") in Chicago's Millennium Park last year. (You knew, somehow, that nothing similar would come up in Manhattan over a piece of public art.)

Finally, it's just a happy feeling entirely that Mr. Espino is such a good friend to About Art History and its readers. He took time from his busy schedule to divert to Channel Gardens for the sole purpose of sharing a once-in-a-lifetime event with those who'll not be able to view it firsthand. He truly captured both Sky Mirror and the atmosphere surrounding it in Rockefeller Center. Profuse thanks, Robert, on a kindness well done.
