Artist stages Nude Photo at Grand Central Terminal
Am I the only one who thinks that doing this on a Sunday morning, in New York, in October might have been just a wee bit chilly (and just a wee bit pointless as well)?
NEW YORK -- Women crossed their arms and rubbed their hands to keep warm in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal early Sunday, but it wasn't because of the chilly October air.
The women- all 450 of them- were nude.
They were posing as part of a human art installation being photographed by New York-based artist Spencer Tunick.
"I love his art and I think he's creating an amazing thing _ something different, something fresh," said Anna Springer, 30, a real estate executive....
Women- all volunteers- arrived at Grand Central at about 3 a.m. Sunday, stripped off their clothes and composed their bodies into sculptural shapes and formations meant to imitate streets, buildings and cityscapes.
Tunick took photographs from a stairway in the concourse. He shouted instructions through a megaphone, telling the women to form triangles and square with their bodies on the floor.
The station was closed off to the public between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.
Perhaps it's just the Minnesota Lutheran in me, but there is no way I'm taking my clothes off early in the morning for anyone with a camera. Trust me, y'all aren't missing anything, and besides, what would my mother think??
