Takashi, India and Felicia paid a visit to the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

They checked out artist Roxy Paine's (American, born 1966)
Maelstrom.
Maelstrom looked like a huge, fallen chromed tree.

Its random-ness and shiny silver contrasted well with the buildings behind it, and the 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture encompassed nearly the entire 8,000-square-foot Roof Garden.
Maelstrom was site-specific and the largest sculpture to have been installed on the roof of the Met. (Photo: Sofia Paine.)

The view from the Met Roof was amazing.

And where else could one simultaneously enjoy the world's best art and the world's greatest martini with the world's greatest friends?
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia
