Outdoor Art: Basically we mean "modern" art (not traditional statues) which is viewed outdoors. Or in atriums.

Lions: Another brief series, but we have been saving up pictures since and will probably do another one this winter. As well as one on eagles -- both are extremly popular in NYC's classically-ornamented buildings.

Gilding: There has been a boom in "gilding" in NYC over the past few years. Perhaps someone has invented a new, cheaper process, or hired a new, better salesman, or it was just because of the economic boom?

Terra Cotta: Our bible for this series was "Terra-Cotta Skyline" (the author graciously allowed us to quote from it as desired) and the first thing the we realized after reading it is that there's a LOT more terra cotta in NYC then we thought. It turns out to be the key ingredient in most of our favorite buildings.
