Brooklyn's stealthiest sculptor
Earlier this year, Brooklyn artist Daniel Scheffer kicked off a series of outdoor sculpture projects he hoped to install throughout the borough. The first ones went up in May -- whimsical metal silhouettes attached to an abandoned waterfront building on Furman Street, just a short walk from the Brooklyn Bridge, (map.)
Eight more sculptures went up during the summer, all installed on the fly as he didn't exactly seek permission. The Furman Street faces, for example, are attached with a rod through the building's own aging brackets. A few disappeared in recent months, but most of his artworks survived unbothered.
 His other installations in the series can be found at Pearl Street and New York in Dumbo; Hicks Street abutting the BQE; on 4th Ave from 23rd Street to 31st Street; 3rd Avenue and Prospect Avenue; 4th Avenue and Prospect Ave; 28th Street and 3rd Avenue; 3rd Avenue where Prospect Avenue and Hamilton Avenue connect at the entrance to the Expressway; and at the eastbound Fourth Avenue overpass at Prospect Avenue.
More of his work can be found at Omoma.net.
