Nude with Bronze, Mourning.
Impromptu costumed posing, nude with tree branch angel wings (?), below bronze sculpture on 11th Ave, formerly dubbed "Death Ave".
The plaque below the bronze angel statue explains how "Death Ave" earned its ignomious nickname. Prior to the building of the elevated freight line (now, the Highline,) the freight line ran on street level, causing hundreds of pedestrian deaths in the tenement neighborhoods between 10th and 11th Ave. “[M]any had been sacrificed” to “a monster which has menaced them night and day," quoth the New York World, 1892.
