This past Monday, a magnificent sculpture was placed in Brooklyn Bridge Park and will remain there until August.
Stretching 8 x 17 1/2 feet, this amazing sculpture is both powerful and simple and spells out YO. Described by Deborah Kass, the artist, “The fact that this particular work resonates so beautifully in so many languages to so many communities is why I wanted to make it monumental”. I can’t believe that the dedication and opening of this piece of art is coincidental. The color of it is yellow, however I’m sure that when Equinunk and Blue Ridge do its summer magic, it will glow red and blue. So the next time you’re walking along the east side of Manhattan, think of MCW and give a YO!!!
