Gilbert & George take Times Square!

If you’ve been in Times Square lately, you may have seen this already, but we were waiting to post until we had some good photos. Tash put out a call to the Brooklyn Museum Members group on Flickr and Trish Mayo and Stephen Sandoval took a field trip to the square to get some shots. Trish, Stephen – thanks, these are awesome!
