Yesterday, I showed you my pics of Antony Gormley’s showstopping statue series in Madison Square Park. Today let me show you the best part of that exhibit: people’s reactions to it.
The sculptures populate many of the rooftops nearby the park–but there are also a few scattered about on ground level. And when I started taking photos of the statue standing on 23rd Street where Broadway and Fifth Avenue cross, I started noticing the funny reactions several folks had to the naked figure displaying his junk for all the Flatiron District to see. (Not that it was the first time this kind of thing happened.) (And you know it certainly won’t be the last.)
Here’s a peek at how some New Yorkers took a peek.
P.S. See more of my photos of New Yorkers reacting to their new nude neighbor here.
awesome.
Great concept Amy! It looked like quite a few were trying to sneak a peek!
Love it!!!
Trust the gray haired lady to have her picture made with him! You go girl. When did you take the pictures?
I went back on Monday. So bummed we missed seeing it together over the weekend!
No “full frontal” pictures? I’m curious now, too!
Maybe you should come up and pay us a visit and find out for yourself… (-;
Great stuff Amy!
I’m glad you weren’t there with your camera in hand when I stopped and stared! Love this post!
since i work in the flatiron district, let me share a few of the things i’ve been hearing:
“oh my, aren’t we gifted..”
“yes, it is a man. a very large man.”
“that’s just impossible…”
“in his dreams…”
Love the female perspective….so many ladies stealing a look down under-meow kitties!
These are fantastic! Love everyone’s expressions.
these expressions are hilarious. glad you didn’t catch me
We posted on this too! I loved watching people look up and all around the city.
