Anish Kapoor‘s “Cloud Gate” sculpture has become one of Chicago’s most famous attractions, and now, a “mini-Bean” — as the work is being affectionately called — has arrived in New York City.
The Manhattan version is smaller (40 tons instead of 110), and rather than sitting in a public park, it’s huddled underneath the luxury condominium tower at 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca.
While some may roll their eyes at the Chicago artwork’s ability to summon hoards of selfie-takers, passersby had a more optimistic take on New York’s new legume-shaped sculpture.
