Spencer Tunick, best known as "that guy who takes those photographs of all the naked people lying on the ground," took photographs of 450 naked women in Grand Central Terminal yesterday morning. The photo shoot was during the station's closed period, with women streaming in at 3AM. Tunick had originally asked the Museum of Natural History and NY Public Library, but they refused. Nice work, MTA, but this wasn't listed on the activites of 90th anniversary activities. The way we figure it, that's 5 naked women for each one of Grand Central's years. Not bad. Though we think at Hef's 90th, he'll have that beat.
More from the Grand Central photo shoot.
