Bergdorf Goodman/Visionary Art; it’s a natural

by DPC



Like a lot of New Yorkers, I’m a big fan of Bergdorf’s windows. I’m not a shopper and only enter the place when going to a party or reception, but I admire the creativity and industry that goes into using their windows to speak to the city. They are often brilliant, beautiful, witty and the result of thousands of hours of concealed effort.

These new windows are labeled: Bergdorf Goodman presents Visionary Artists From the Collection of the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. Bergdorf Goodman/Visionary Art; it’s a natural.

I also like watching the passers-by stop and look. They linger and stare. They inspect, discuss, and photograph. These windows express the essence of community that all New Yorkers feel at times, such as on a spot like this, the stuff that amazes, that lights the magic – and with the Pulitzer fountain across the way and through the trees, and the Apple Cube shining opposite on the other side of the avenue – all it, all of us, surrounded by the floodlit, gilded and glistening Manhattan towers. There’s a thrill there.
