'Round Rochester

Public art is often an integral part of the building, so much so that when a major occupant leaves, like Bausch + Lomb, the commissioned pieces are left intact and become the building's property. That explains this odd handing planetary sculpture in the main lobby of the now Legacy Tower. There is an intricate inlaid floor below with heady inscription to go along with. Match that!

Ducks in a Row

The Global Eye Health Center is the work zone for Bausch + Lomb optical products. An enormous space, the building's collections curator rotates art constantly. My turn was this winter.  Had a visit today.

Albert Paley's steel sculpture is shown twice -- in a maquette that is about 24" high, and outside, which is perhaps 3 stories high. Got to talk with him tonight at his wife's, Francis', opening of photographs at the Geisel Gallery at Bausch and Lomb. Enough name dropping!
