I had the great good fortune to be visiting the office of my accountant near Madison Square yesterday, which gave me the opportunity to see this wondrous sculpture sitting in the middle of the lawn. It is called Echo, and it is by the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. Forty feet tall, and sprinkled in marble dust, the giant head seems to float like an apparition against the surrounding trees and limestone buildings. My poor photo doesn’t do it justice–it’s beautiful, mystical, like a dream.
