Buttenheim

I must admit when I found the below photo (all links NSFW) -- while looking for images of a Japanese park, of all things -- of Spencer Tunick's nude "installation" at a parking garage in Amsterdam last year, I immediately thought, "this would be great at the Guggenheim!"

Even though I'm not a fan of the artist's gimmick, I commend him on his ability to assemble large masses of bodies to apparently do as he wishes, and the installation at the garage is one that successfully "dialogues" with its setting, more than bodies huddled in a street, for example, does.
