Beware office jockeys: Subliminal advertising in the art of your buildings...

Climbing the ladder takes on new definition while viewing this stunning piece. Molded copies of headless figures grow ladders where heads should be. I want to know how hard the artist is laughing at placing this in the lobby of the Dark Tower (a.k.a. 701 5th, Columbia Tower, tallest building north of S.F.) with a very earnest epithet congratulating these drones on their endeavor.

Check it out for yourself in the 5th avenue lobby of 701 5th. If you get lost the gnomes will eat you. But don't even think of taking pictures, the security guard told me, he thought, before I clicked...
