Andy Warhol...

Last night on our way home we noticed a new edition to the Union Square statue collection, Mr. Andy Warhol...

The base is solid stone and the statue it's self is super shiny metal, it looks like it's been made out of silver, but it has a slightly gold tinge to it... I tapped it and it sounds hollow, so it might be fibre glass.

Up close the statue looks a little more like Jarvis Cocker, or C3-PO with a wig on...

So now, at one end of Union Square there's a statue of Ghandi in a shawl with a walking stick, and at the opposite end there's Andy Warhol with a Bloomingdales bag and a camera around his neck.

I'm not sure if the statue's perminant or not, but it's been put up in because Andy Warhol's screenprinting studio used to on Union Square! I had no idea of that little fact until this morning - it's not bad having a design studio round the corner from where some his masterpieces were created!
