A Camel on the Ceiling
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
My post a few weeks ago about an unusual art exhibition in Estonia got a huge response, so I thought I'd post another one, this one as part of our ongoing series, Breaking Camel News. I learned of this one via Boing Boing.
Why is there a WWI Sopwith Camel biplane and landing strip on the roof of 77 Water Street in New York City's financial district? It's an art installation created in 1969 by Rudolph de Harak and William Tarr.
