Waking - by Gilbert & George

Taken about a month ago at the High Line in the Meatpacking / Chelsea area of Manhattan. There's always some interesting art on this billboard.

TTW - Popeye on Houston Street

The latest work at the Bowery Mural - Popeye by Crash (John Matos). Houston Street at Bowery, Manhattan. Taken thru a tinted taxi window.

Buckyball

Splotch 15 - by Sol Lewitt ("Structures") - on display at City Hall Park, along with many of Lewitt's other works

Echo

Echo, by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, towers above the sunbathers at Madison Square Park.

Louise Nevelson Plaza

Louise Nevelson's sculptures are featured prominently on the plaza that bears her name. This is Maiden Lane & William Street, in the heart of the financial district. I shot this thru a store window while taking shelter from the rain.

Bad Pussies

Mural at E 3rd Street & Avenue B, East Village

Fiorello LaGuardia

Statue of Fiorello LaGuardia, former mayor of NYC. I found this at LaGuardia Place, near the NYU campus.

Bicycle Cover or Art?

An interesting creation by artist Olek.

Snowy School Yard

Mural in the snow-covered yard of the old JHS 12 (Corlears Junior High School) at Grand & Jackson Streets.

Sculpture Silhouettes

An art exhibit by Peter Coffin at City Hall Park. Snake Tree (foreground); Moai Easter Island Head (background). There are 11 other sculptures in this exhibit throughout the park.

Coenties Slip

Coenties Slip Park near the southern tip of Manhattan. This is just across the street from where I worked for a bunch of years (when I had a real job). And, no, after all these years I still don't know how to pronounce Coentis. The sculpture in the center is new and may actually be a water feature.

"Stop the Violence"

Chico is back and unveiled a new mural on Houston Street near Avenue B to get the message out to stop the violence - after some highly-publicized incidents of violence in recent months.

Sculpture: Her Leaving

Her Leaving, by artist Robert Melee (Bronze with Enamel Paint), on display at City Hall Park

More of Chico's work, in the East Village.

Mural on a Lower East Side wall

This is the first work by Chico (Antonio Garcia) that I ever saw. Most of the time when I pass by on the bus there are cars or trucks blocking portions. I got lucky this time. Sadly for us, Chico is rumored to have packed his paints & brushes and moved south to be closer to his family. You can see more of his East Village murals here, here and here.

I love these "people" in a garden on the Lower East Side (E. Houston Street). There were no signs that I could see so I don't know the name of the garden or of the artist.
