This reclining classical figure, which sits on top of a pediment over one of the doorways of the New York Appellate Court Building opposite Madison Square Park, is called “Evening.” I under expose my image to give it an environmental context worthy of its name. One third of the building’s construction budget in 1900 was devoted to art – a national competition was held to determine the list of sculptors who would work on the project. A mesh net surrounds the figure, in case any of the 109-year-old sculpture should break loose of its moorings. It ensnares “Evening,” and makes it linger.
