Give this rabbit a beer.

A new sculpture in Union Square. Could it be a March hare?
Parks & Recreation is pleased to announce the exhibition of Barry Flanagan’s Large Left Handed Drummer in Union Square Park. The 16′ x 9′ x 8′ bronze sculpture is characteristic of Flanagan’s work and depicts a dancing hare playing a drum. The work will be on display from February 18 – June 24, 2007 and coincides with an exhibition of his sculptures at Chelsea’s Paul Kasmin Gallery (February 24 – March 31, 2007).

    Why would they put a statue of a rabbit in Union Square?

    Dunno, Elisha. It’s pretty entertaining. Not sure if it’s a permanent or temporary installation. I didn’t take note of any plaque.

    Looks like a temporary exhibit, and is that a beer botton I see on the base….

    Interesting sculpture though.

    Here’s the story on the Hare, it is a temporary exhibit and is called "Left handed drummer"

    Very cool, Randall. I’m curious, how did you go about searching for that information?

    Hi Mike,
    I posted a link on one of my sculpture forums to here and someone there posted the URL to the story almost immediately;
