Park Avenue pop-art extravaganza



Aww I love this teddy in Park Avenue!!! On my recent trip to the glorious NYC (before I brought them an earthquake from San Francisco and a subsequent hurricane) I have stumbled upon this treasure making my way east to the Museum of Modern Art. Swiss artist Urs Fischer has erected this giant yellow teddy bear sculpture sitting under a lamp right between 52nd and 53rd Streets in front of the Seagram Building on Park Avenue. It measures 23 feet in height and, made of bronze, weighs 35,000 pounds. The amazing button-eyed teddy is on display until September 30. So hurry up and see it in person until it is auctioned off on Christie’s in early May!
