Recently I wrote about 500 NYC taxis becoming mobile art galleries for a month. Yesterday, while running errands in the freezing cold I wondered whether I’d actually see one of these cabs. After all there are more than 10,000 yellow cabs roaming the streets. I whipped out my phone – just in case I’d get lucky – and suddenly one drove by:
It’s showing an Alex Katz portrait – calm, elegant, arresting. It’s so refreshing just to see something different – something that’s not advertising anything or asking you to consume.
If you see any of these taxis, especially one with Yoko Ono or Shirin Neshat images, let me know! Send your pix!
And stay warm.
