SOMEONE’S BEEN MESSING WTH OUR PUBLIC ART

Three sources confirm: this bronze raven sculpture in front of the subway station on 72nd Street and Broadway was facing in the other direction as of last week.

Someone — probably young, drunk and strong — managed to flip it around (it is not light).

Please sir or madam, do not do this again. It is messing with our collective heads.

That said, I personally am really enjoying all of these Peter Woytuk sculptures near subway stations on Broadway. Does everyone else like them?

Thanks to Robin for the tip.

I really like these sculptures. Thanks for showing them.
I do think that it makes more sense for the bird to be flying away with the acorn when you see someone sitting there. Maybe drunk young strong and arty?
