Blue-chip art adorns many suave Manhattan addresses these days: Jeff Koons’s “Balloon Rabbit (Red)” at 51 Astor Place, James Turrell’s glowing “Light Box” at 505 Fifth Avenue, Yayoi Kusama’s giant bronze pumpkin at the Sky building on West 42nd Street.

But few have taken it to the extreme that Sterling Ruby, one of the most dazzling contemporary artists to emerge out of Los Angeles in recent years, has done at the Calvin Klein headquarters at 205 West 39th Street.

Under the patronage of Raf Simons, the brand’s chief creative director, Mr. Ruby has transformed the towering Art Deco building in his kaleidoscopic vision.

Donald Baechler (1956 – April, 2022) was an American painter and sculptor.

Baechler was born in Hartford, Connecticut. He attended the Maryland Institute College of Art from 1974 to 1977, studying for his B.F.A. in Painting, and Cooper Union from 1977 to 1978 for his M.F.A. Dissatisfied with New York City, he proceeded to the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

At Cooper Union I met some German exchange students. This was 1977, and I found the whole scene at the school to be white and boring, to be honest. It wasn't what I wanted out of art school or what I wanted out of being in New York. The most interesting minds, the most interesting talents and energy came from those German kids. And they said, 'Why don't you come to Germany?' The easiest school to get into was the one attached to the Frankfurt Museum. The entrance requirements were less strict, so I went with it and spent a year in Frankfurt. They were very generous.

Alex Hawgood, in a 2008 profile in The New York Times, summarized ...."Baechler ... is known for his sunny, multimedia work that explores the language of cultural symbols." But Baechler's "animated, engaging and ... beautifully made" images are not without sentiment.

 "Baechler," wrote Edward Leffingwell of Art in America, "scatters his surfaces with the detritus of childhood, portraying the adult today through the images of a past not quite left behind." And neither is Baechler outside the purview of art history. The New York Times' art critic Holland Cotter remarked of Baechler: "At this very moment, some industrious doctoral student somewhere is documenting how thoroughly images of childhood have pervaded art of the late 1980s and early 90s. The images aren't chiefly those of adolescence, as was the case with Pop Art in the 60s, but of infancy."
