Had fun last week covering the installation of Matthew Day Jackson’s very large bronze sculpture “The Burghers of Calais” at Hauser+Wirth Gallery on West 18th St in Chelsea. The artists and his team were fantastic to watch, a real treat to see skilled craftsmen hard at work!

The final result is here and the whole show opened last Friday so go on by Hauser+Wirth to see the entire show.
