French artist Francois Xavier Lalanne and Paul Kasmin Gallery are in the process of transforming the Getty service station located at the Northwest corner of Tenth Avenue and 27th Street into an urban Sheep Meadow and it’s a total kick!
The installation is almost finished and it’s easy to take lots of pictures from the sidewalk, but it won’t be officially open until Tuesday, September 17th, at which point viewers may enter the space and walk among the sheep.
Getty Sheep Station By Francois Xavier Lalanne will be on Exhibit to all who wander by from September 17th to October 2oth, 2013, just across the street from the Paul Kasmin Gallery.
