After the Flatiron Man...what?

The statues of naked men by British sculptor Antony Gormley that are perched about Madison Square will depart on August 15. (Can't you just see them that day jumping off the various buildings, one by one, to line up behind Flatiron Man, and then boarding a bus which whisks them directly to JFK, where they will fly Virgin Atlantic back to London?) I'd gotten into the habit of looking for those guys every time I went down to the Flatiron during these past few months. Knowing they'll be soon gone, I already miss them. So I was happy to read in today's Times that another exhibit is in the works, courtesy of the Madison Square Park Conservancy. Click on the link below:
