Candy Nations Laurence Jenkell
Garment District Plazas Broadway, Between 41st Street & 36th StreetWe think The Garment District is already pretty sweet, but this fall it gets even sweeter with the arrival of Candy Nations.
The latest exhibit in our Art on the Plazas program features twenty nine-foot tall candy shaped sculptures by prominent French artist Laurence Jenkell.
Each unique polyester resin sculpture in the Candy Nations series weighs 1,450 pounds and represents a piece of candy wrapped in the national colors of one of 20 countries
The installation – through which the artist aims to convey “an optimistic message of unity beneath external differences” – is free and will be open to the public on Broadway between 36th and 39th streets through December 9th.
