One block down and across the street from the Lever House, another famous modernist building. Not modernist, you say? Well, you're right; the Racquet and Tennis Club across the street is not modernist by a long shot (it was built in 1918 by McKim Mead & White), but I'm referring to the Seagram Building which I'm standing in front of in order to photograph this Calder mobile, dated 1969.

You can actually see the building by following the above link to the New York Architecture Images site. You may notice that sometimes this building looks bronze and sometimes it looks black. I can't explain that.
