“The Patroness was Watching”
:x:
Jackie Oh! lived at 1040 Fifth Avenue (brilliantly sunlit at the video’s start), directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From her full-floor apartment on the 15th floor she could look through the glass wall of The Met’s rear north wing, housing the Temple of Dendur. It was indeed fitting because she was instrumental getting the tenth-century B.C. temple awarded to the museum.
:x:
Before Jackie Oh! entertained at night she would telephone The Met, asking that the lights be left on in the temple’s gallery for her guests to see the temple, that had been dedicated to the Goddess Isis.

“Subway Art Tour One”
:x:
Early Sunday afternoon I led a group of 23 guests on a tour of the permanent, commissioned art at five different subway stations. Times Square/42 Street features five separate installations, ranging from Roy Lichtenstein’s “Times Square Mural,” 2001 to Nick Cave’s “Each One, Every One, Equal All,” 2022, behind us. See these and other permanent art installations during Subway Art Tour One [https://wp.me/P47lL1-UF]. Take the Tour; Know More!

Happy Birthday, Fifth Avenue!
:x:
On November 1st 1824 Fifth Avenue opened for development. This was 13 years after approval of the Commissioners Plan, which established Manhattan’s street grid of uptown (north/south) avenues and crosstown (east/west) streets. Soon a once-bucolic area became home to the City’s elite Knickerbocker families, earning the monicker the Gold Coast. The Avenue offered acceptable distance from the rowdy riffraff along the dirty waterfronts of the East & Hudson Rivers and New York Harbor, which generated the fortunes of many these of families.

“Triumph of Dionysos and the Seasons”
:x:
Behind me is an Ancient Roman, marble sarcophagus; it can be found in the Greek & Roman Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Estimated to date from A.D. 230, bought from the 10th Duke of Beaufort, The Met has owned it since 1955, I include this marvel on my Highlights of The Met Tour [https://wp.me/P47lL1-216].

“Moon and Towers”
:x:
I snapped this from my living room window at 6:17AM. In the foreground is the water-tank tower of the Saint Germain co-op at 33 Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich Village [https://wp.me/P47lL1-Un]. The three towers to the right of it are new apartment blocks in Jersey City. March’s full moon came at 3:00AM EDT; it is known as the full Worm Moon.
:x:
As the ground begins to soften earthworms reappear, making tasty feeding for birds. It is a true sign of spring, along with early flowers pushing their leaves and buds through the soil. Earth awakens from its winter slumber. March’s full moon is also known as the Sap Moon; the sap of sugar maples begins to flow at this time of year. It is also called the Lenten Moon, when it falls within the Lenten season; and the Crow Moon, as the cawing of crows signals the end of winter.
