I lifted the following word-for-word from another website: Madparknews.com. They stated it so well, felt no need to reinvent the wheel. Please click on the llinks below, or copy it into your browser box at the top of the screen. to see the pictures. The pictures are superb. The great surprise is to find something standing where there was nothing before. There you are on the bus, and a new vision appears.
As part of the NYC Department of Transportation Urban Art Program (in conjunction with the Flatiron 23rd Street Partnership) there is a new sculpture up just west of Madison Square park in the pedestrian plaza between 23rd and 24th Street and Broadway and 5th Avenue. The installation is called Bird, made of actual and fabricated nails, and is by New York City artist Will Ryman. The 12-foot high structure is “loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven” according to the Paul Kasmin Gallery and will be up from now until April 21st, 2013.
