I saw something weird in New York

I was in New York City last week. I didn’t even stay for 24 hours- just a quick overnight trip to go the MOMA.

After a morning of looking at them picassos and them chagalls, I was walking down 54th street when I noticed something strange in the lobby of the Lever House.

I look in the window but cannot quite make out what’s inside. So, I made the choice to walk inside. I was greeted with this sight:

What was it? Well after asking the internet, I found this article:

Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) — Let others count turtledoves and French hens this yuletide season. Damien Hirst is counting sheep — 30, to be exact, all of them dead.

Beheaded, preserved in formaldehyde and sealed in glass tanks placed on rows of stainless-steel autopsy tables, the wooly slaughter represents Hirst’s most vapid foray into mortality yet.

Titled “School: The Archeology of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity, and the Search for Knowledge,” his installation in the lobby of New York’s Lever House is also a display of corporate ego that mars the most serenely designed, glass-walled skyscraper in town.
