Late last night, workers packed up "The Last Three" sculpture on Astor Place ... Peter Feld shared these top two photos...
...and here's the rhino-less Astor Place this morning...
The 17-foot sculpture had been here since March.
Australian artists Gillie and Marc Schattner recreated the last three Northern White Rhinos – Sudan, Najin, and Fatu – "to inspire, educate and mobilize the global community to raise their voices and affect real change against illegal rhino poaching trade."
The two have yet to disclose the new NYC location of "The Last Three" ...

What a great sculpture. I walked past it almost every day on my way to work. I will miss those rhinos. I think the cube will too. The cube and the rhinos were good friends as far as I could tell. I wish the rhinos peace.
I hope they bring back the caucasian opiod addict show
A little farther uptown (I know, outside of the EV) is this:

If they actually wanted to put up a sculpture that East Villagers can really relate to then they should make one of a texting pizza rat, riding a CitiBike, running over a landlord who is in handcuffs.
I liked the rhinos. I also like that little cafe box that looks all rusty and not generic like all the glass chemUSA bullshit. They're nice there, too.
