Folding Wood Chairs, 1976

Lower Manhattan

A "“"sunrise to noon"”" series materializes every Sunday in New York for two months in 1976. The artist takes 80 folding wooden chairs to locations throughout lower Manhattan, often tipping them diagonally to create guerrilla installations. This is the first action to extend Finkel"’"s studio comprehensively to the outdoors.
