A mysterious art show is tricking New Yorkers into tripping out — and staring into each other’s eyes.
The wild exhibit, “Bobby Anspach: The Beautiful Nothing,” features a pair of kooky contraptions — tangles of wires, lights and colorful pom-poms — that look like something a mad scientist built with junkyard scraps or a child designed using materials in their playroom.
Take note: the late artist Anspach had a penchant for pom-poms.
Visitors to the dazzling display, consisting of two fantastical installations from his wild “Places for Continuous Eye Contact” series, pair up and step into an enclosed tent covered in vibrant pom-poms, with two seats facing each other.
The fully engulfed participants gaze at each other while draped in pom-pom blankets and engulfed by tall, hanging helmets covered with the fuzzy orbs.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
