artist creates building from erector set pieces

June 12, 2008

If you’re in New York over the next month, make sure to stop by Rockefeller Center to check out artist Chris Burden’s newest creation “What My Dad Gave Me”.

The 65 ft, six storey tall structure built from Erector set pieces pays homage to both the popular toy and it’s big brother/inspiration, Rockefeller Tower.
