STL DPB ON THE ROAD - THE VESSEL

The West Side of Manhattan has a recent, huge and expensive real estate development called Hudson Yards. It contains several very tall buildings, one of which has the overlook called The Edge, which I think we will come to. The central plaza contains this sculpture, for want of a better word, called The Vessel. The Escher-y network of stairways lets you walk to the top, not quite seen here from within an overpriced shopping mall. (You have to pass by Cartier on the way out.) It is closed to visitors, for now, while they figure out what to do about the rash of suicides.
