KAWS, Nick Walker, and Others Install Public Art Across NYC
Lois Stavsky and Tara Murray have compiled a photo essay showcasing recent public art installations throughout New York City. Among the highlighted pieces are KAWS's renowned 'COMPANION' characters located on the Greenpoint waterfront in Brooklyn, a stencil artwork by Nick Walker from Bristol at the Bushwick Collective, and David Barthold's 'Hurly-Whirly,' created with youth apprentices from Beam Center at 4th Ave and 2nd St in Brooklyn. Additionally, Woody De Othello's 'Inner Knowing' is part of his outdoor sculpture exhibit 'Guardian Spirit' at Brooklyn Bridge Park, while Buff Monster, a Hawaii native, has a mural on the Lower East Side, alongside Frank Ape outside the Ridge Hotel and a work by Miami's Golden at Boone Avenue Walls in the Bronx. The collection showcases the city's vibrant street art and sculptures in public spaces.
