So instead, the Guggenheim has named its fifth floor gallery and sculpture terrace after Mr. LeFrak.

His name is discreetly placed in white plaques, with the letters in Frank Lloyd Wright's original type-face design, over the door to the sculpture terrace and the gallery's entrance.

The café on the sculpture terrace at Es Baluard (0034 971 908 199, Plaça Porta de Santa Catalina, 10) has sweeping views of the harbour.

The second floor's two halls, completed in 1984, hold an exhibition of photographs and two sculpture terraces, as well as most of the institution's administrative and technical departments.

The reconstruction expanded the building by 35 percent, providing a third floor, with natural light and a sculpture terrace as well as many more flexible focus areas to exhibit smaller collections and special theme shows.

The expansion included 25,000 additional square feet of art galleries, a mezzanine, a sculpture terrace, four classrooms, two art storage vaults and a 90-seat lecture hall.

(In 2001 the New York City Landmarks Commission gave the museum a six-year permit for the structure, a large stainless steel sculptural form that sits above the museum's sculpture terrace.)

Even the sculpture terrace looked small.

It is now on Sotheby's sculpture terrace and is estimated to fetch $150,000 to $200,000.

"Balzac/Pétanque" will eventually go on one of the new sculpture terraces.
