I saw the above artwork on an exterior wall in Chelsea this afternoon on 19th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues (near my favorite fruit stand). I'm calling it Ode to Arbus.
I remember seeing the original photograph Boy with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, NYC, 1962 when I was installing an exhibition nearly ten years ago at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, San Diego and completely hypnotized by her work. Diane Arbus shot some of the best candid portraits you will ever see. This was a great surprise to run into today.
