We got a peek at the newly named Philip Johnson Terrace, part of Museum Tower, the Cesar Pelli-designed residential building next to the Museum of Modern Art (Pelli designed the new federal courthouse in downtown Brooklyn).

Listen, we love contemporary American sculpture as much as the next guy, but when we heard that Larry Gagosian paid more than twenty-three million dollars for this David Smith sculpture (Cubi XXVII), we threw up a little bit in our mouth. You could make a better metal sculpture by stacking up silver kitchen parts from the Bowery, for godsakes! We're sure Larry did it as an investment, but we hope that he doesn't have to keep this thing in his living room until he can sell it to some museum.
