The Artist JR strikes again

The French Artist JR known for his huge Black and White portraits, has made a Times Square appearance. 

Today was the last day. He had a photo van where people had images of themselves taken as they were passing through Times Square. The images were immefiately printed out as large 4ft by 6ft approx. prints, and then adhered to a building on 48th and Broadway. They were also pasting them to the ground near the bleachers. 


Remarkably beautiful and captivating given that the neon crossroads of the world candy compete with captivating black and white giant photobooth portraits. 


Sadly we did not get our photos taken, as the line was so long, and moved slowly. 

We were unfortunately on our lunch break and did not see ourselves strolling back to work 3 hours later with the sad explanation that we wanted to be  a part if a global art project
