by light-and-space artist James Turrell. Walking away from Times Square (who wouldn’t?) this lobby somehow caught my attention.
A passerby saw me looking and pronounced, “that’s wierd.” I thought,” it’s James Turrell made corporate.” And this being New York, it is. A genuine Turrell. And it’s wonderful.
I hear the color alternates from blue to green to red. I think I’d want to walk into and through it every day on the way to work. Would it change my mood?
Or, as CIT is a consumer finance company, and this is their world headquarters; with finance in turmoil, maybe they should program the Turrell to display the current mood of the market, use the lobby like a mood ring. You know,
Stressed 
Fearful 
Nervous 
Mixed Emotions 
Normal 
Relaxed 
Calm 
Cool 
Lovable 
Romantic 
Passionate 
Very Happy
Looking through the revolving door, I rang the buzzer but the guard you see in the back there wouldn’t open it. I’d love to talk with him. He sits by that light all night.
