3. Still Life by Paul Pfeiffer
In addition to Smith and Kusama’s permanent installations, the new concourse will also feature a variety of temporary works. A rotating photography lightbox exhibition, presented in partnership with the International Center of Photography (ICP), has a prominent place in the new space. The inaugural ICP exhibition is a new series of photographs by photographer Paul Pfeiffer.
Titled Still Life, the exhibition pays homage to the iconic New York City street performer “Da Gold Man” who acted as a living statue on the streets of Times Square for over 17 years. The exhibit is made up of 10 large-scale photographs, each measuring approximately 75 inches tall and 100 inches wide. The images are printed on backlit film and displayed in five custom-made, double-sided lightboxes. The artwork is the first in a series of contemporary
photography exhibitions to be featured in the large-scale lightboxes in the south concourse of the new Grand Central Madison terminal.
