Day 4 - Blogabond

Our last full day in New York: we began by visiting the Flatiron Building, New York's oldest skyscraper, and discovered Antony Gormley's statues at floor level and on rooftops in the surrounding area. I also managed visit the one place that was at the top of my agenda: Urban Outfitters! Since Urban Outfitters is twice as expensive in England as it is in the States, it was a must. Naturally.

After lunch we took on the Museum of Modern Art, where we discovered Marina Abramovic's performance art. I had mixed feelings about her work: her current piece, in which she sits all day at a table while museum visitors take turns to sit across from her, left me underwhelmed, while some of her previous works, also on display, were thought-provoking, disturbing or, sometimes, unintentionally comical.
I was also pleased to see an exhibition of Tim Burton's work, although only a small part of it was free to view.
