We still have a few months until we can wander the tulip blooms, but springtime is still shining on Brookfield Place…literally. As part of the large-scale installation “Fleeting Opulence,” the building’s glass facades are now wrapped in art depicting spectacular flora and fauna, including spring cherry blossoms and Brookfield’s own rooftop honeybees.
The installation is by British art collective Graphic Rewilding, and can be seen on a number of glass facades, including the entrance on Vesey Street and the Winter Garden’s interior atrium. The latter is blessed with a particularly gorgeous stained glass effect in sunlight; to catch it, grab lunch at Hudson Eats and set yourself up downstairs to watch the atrium fill with sparkle and color.
“Fleeting Opulence” is on view until October 19.
