THE BEST PUBLIC ART OVER THE YEARS
If the Anish Kapoor sculpture coming to 56 Leonard lives up to its renderings, I think it’ll turn into a symbol of Tribeca. And even though it’s technically private art, it got me thinking of public art over the years—and in particular, the installations that really dazzled.

Plus: The city’s “first tea-themed immersive art pop-up” is coming to Broadway; suggestion sought for sushi-grade fish; “Ray Donovan” set; Department of Buildings launches online map of construction projects; Warren Street reconstruction.
