Day 3: Midtown

“150 Million? Pocket Change…”

Today started out at the Today show watching a few songs from the musical Legally Blond as we made our way to Christies. Denise led us in to the beautiful building that once was a parking garage. She arranged for us to have a behind the scenes look at what goes on in Christies. It was an amazing experience- we saw a jewelry auction, the storage places for the art work and furniture and the photo studios where every single piece of art is photographed and catalogued. Quite an undertaking.

We then walked around Midtown and went to various galleries. Some of the galleries were, Laurence Miller Gallery, Project, Pace/Macgill Gallery, Cohen Amador Gallery, and Zabriskie Gallery.

We also ran into a Mitzvah Mobile, which will be quite obvious on the video when you see what happened!

We attended the opening of the Jen Bekman gallery in the evening, where Walker interviewed Jen Bekman and we saw some interesting work.

Walker and I also made our way to Times Square where we took an amazingly fast and sickening elevator to the top of the Marriot Marquis. There is a rotating restaurant on top that made me very dizzy, but the view was awesome!
