Found Art, in Midtown

Service Elevator, Midtown
Photo by myself, somewhere in Midtown.

For every building with a public elevator, there at least one service elevator. This one had its doors wide open to the sidewalk.

This service entrance looked like an odd and informal gallery. There was a 'Mona Lisa', a view of the World Trade Towers and a portrait in graphite. At the metal doors of the service elevator, American flags were painted on the panels.

Happy Friday, everyone!

    this is the real mona - unpretentious, cool and underground. She's always been like this. The one at Louvre is fake ;)
