Mr. Kim sculpture by Nam Jun Paik. Vintage radio cases in the form of a small robot. Two monitors housed within the head and body radio cases simultaneously play identical videos on a loop. Dogwood Flower by Sugiura Yasuyoshi. Porcelain re-creation of the flower from a kousa dogwood tree, with four pink- tipped petals surrounding a large central ball of miniature flowers, consisting of hundreds of small greenish-white spikes topped by brown balls; behind the bracts are four brownish outer leaves finished in gold and platinum to simulate dried foliage, and a thick stem of the same color. The sculpture stands as a tripod on two of the brown leaves and the stem so the flower faces sideways and slightly upward. A Storm in the Rocky Mountains by Albert Bierstadt. Dramatic scene of a thunderstorm raging over the Rocky Mountains, with towering peaks partially shrouded in dark clouds, while sunlight breaks through illuminating a valley below, with a small Native American encampment by a river Giant KAWS statues at the Brooklyn Museum
