In this week’s edition of Book I Want, Do Not Have, and Can Not Afford is only in the Can Not Afford section because it’s the holidays and just like everyone else who likes to show their friends and family they care, I am hemorraging money.

Tara Donovan Untitled(Plastic Sheeting) 2009
In the same neighborhood is a more eye-grabbing sculpture by Tara Donovan, the artist known for spectacular accumulations of ordinary objects like plastic straws and disposable cups. Presented in the window of the Lever House Lobby, where it may be viewed from indoors as well as out, Ms. Donovan’s untitled piece consists of 2,500 pounds of plastic sheeting loosely folded into a wide box that is glassed in on the front and back and built into a freestanding white wall. via…
It’s so pretty.
