Window displays were a disappointment this holiday season until I took a look at Landmark Galleries, on 57th St. west of 6th Ave.
The big window, below left, reminded me of fair/carnival booths with dishes and figurines you can (supposedly) win by tossing coins onto them. Except that the figurines here are much higher class, at least according to the price tags, which also include artists' names.
And the subject matter here is racier than what you get at a fair. From the Viagra Angel on top, to the milky Louis XIV cleavage clock above right, to the innocent-as-Roman Polanski tableaux below right, everything needed to furnish the lecher's living room is here!
And who can resist the innocent "artist at work" scene below? So innocent that even the saintly San Pio -- the bearded figure to the left who looks evil only because he's been dipped in silver -- isn't paying attention.
