very chevy Christmas

 

The real license plate reads "Dallas" and where else would you find a Christmas tree adorned with car parts?  If you’re in downtown Dallas over the holiday, stop by Pegasus Plaza and take a look. In all there are tail lights, trunk sections and fins of 13 classic cars.  The decoration is courtesy of Neiman Marcus which displayed the tree in the store in 2003.

art is in the eye of the beholder

 

One felt watched while admiring the Christmas decorations in downtown Dallas.   In case you thought this was merely a 30-foot sculpture of an eyeball, you must read the description:  “Eye” by Chicago-based artist Tony Tasset acts as a symbol of knowledge and power juxtaposed against the pop-culture notion of larger-than-life commercial advertising." Called by one newspaper "an ocular oddity" the sculpture is part of the Joule Hotel's collection of contemporary art.  You may eyeball the the orb -- through the fence!
