Written & Photographed by Kenn Sava. Outdoor public Art in the winter anyone? In February, 2005, Christo & Jeanne Claude presented “The Gates” in Central Park, which combined the 24/7/365 beauty of the Park with a unique vision featuring a gorgeous use of the color saffron. It drew millions of visitors in the dead of […]
By Kenn Sava. Having looked back at Year Eight of NighthawkNYC.com, here, I decided to take a selected look back at what you saw when you looked above what I’ve written here since July 15, 2015: the Banners I’ve run from Day 1. Speaking of Day 1, July 15, 2015…Remember this? Thanks to all those […]

Written & Photographed by Kenn Sava Part 1- A Hush All Over The World It was exactly a year since I was able to see Art when I left The Met Breuer on March 8, 2020, for what turned out to be its last day ever, with the NYC covid shutdown commencing the following day, It […]
Written & Photographed by Kenn Sava (*unless otherwise credited) It’s impossible to walk around NYC and not be walking on history. More often than not?

“I would go out tonight But I haven’t got a stitch to wear”* Sorry. I care not one iota for “celebrities,” but I do care deeply about my second home, 1000 Fifth Avenue, NYC, aka The Metropolitan Museum of Art. So, while the rest of the world is ooohhhhinng and ahhhhhing over who’s wearing what […]

At this point, it’s becoming relevant to consider his place among ALL his peers, including the all-time legends.
