 'Angel of the Americas' was commissioned by Alexander McQueen for
 his west coast store on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, California.
 The sentinal floats between the interior of the venue and the outside
 world, maintaining a constant presence by overlooking everyone who
 enters the space and seeing everything that happens within it.
 The sculpture comes into sight as a whole as you look up upon walking
 into the foyer/entrance area and is viewed from directly underneath.
 A glimpse of the sculptures' head can be seen as you approach the
 store by walking up Melrose Ave.
