January 5, 2023 by Catherine Doyle

Welcome to Life in Sutton Place, a weekly newsletter for people who live in Sutton Place - or plan to live in or visit New York.

In this Issue: We’re focusing on who created a sculpture that you might think is a Calder, what's one of the most charming buildings in Sutton Place, how you can start the year with a little joie de vivre, and where you can brighten your day with flowers in Sutton Place.


5 things to do

1. Catch up with a friend: And experience a little joie de vivre at Le Bilboquet.

2. Take an art walk: You may have walked by this sculpture on 3rd and 55th Street and thought it’s a Calder; however, it’s in fact from Ann Gillen, an American sculptor who trained at Pratt and Columbia University's School of Fine Arts and is known for using color and different materials to create a sense of movement. You can also find Gillen's 30 other public and private art installations in places such as the Storm King Art Center and CUNY.
