We discovered this surreal sheep farm on Park Avenue and 52nd Street the other day, just across the street from the famous Seagram building. They are a series of sculptures by the French artists Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, on display until November 20th (they are the famous "Moutons" crafted from epoxy and bronze between 1988 and 1994).
They bring a sense of joy and unexpected fun into the manicured green lawn of one of the busiest avenues in the city. Plus, they are quiet and clean. Just perfect.
I always loved to have a sheep like this in our garden!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful isn't it! But rather expensive!

Dear Greet: I know, I know, these sheep are wonderful but extremely expensive! The Lalannes are not cheap.
ReplyDeleteThose sheep are so cute!!! I would like to be in New York City so I can see them in real life and maybe hug them.
