Christopher Columbus

Incredible views…a prime location…a statue in your living room?

Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi provides an experience we all could only dream about as his installation allows us to experience the statue of Christopher Columbus like never before.  Nishi is brilliant in providing an up close and personal interaction with one of New York City’s best known landmarks right in the heart of the Upper West Side…Columbus Circle.  After climbing six stories you’ll enter a modern living room filled with sofas, chairs, and of course a TV along with Mr. Columbus himself.  Not to mention the incredible views of Central Park and midtown Manhattan!  It’s free, but you will need to reserve passes in advance through the Public Art Fund.  A must if you’re in the city, but only through November 18th!

    Columbus will do, and so will the view. I cannot imagine I will have a statue of George Washington in my room, the ceiling is too low…..
    I bet it was worth walking the stairs….
