Lady On High


A new condo has been built on Avenue Rd in the Yorkville neighbourhood and the artist renderings had shown a sculpture out front reminiscent of a Jaume Plensa piece. I was so looking forward to seeing it and was sure it was coming when this large plinth went in. But alas no Plensa has appeared but instead this lady with a bit of panache has been installed.  I could find no artist name. The small sign out front near the bottom of the plinth simply tells us that this is private property.

I like it.

That's an interesting sculpture, reminiscent of that famous Marilyn Monroe pose.

Nice concept! And statue, I like her. Thought of the Monroe, too.

...perhaps they couldn't afford a small sign with the sculptures information. A GoFundME might be in order.

Too bad there is no attribution.

How interesting, like a mythological creature caught in the act
