Ribbon of orange sticks on 18th St.

I saw this last week and decided that it was a great color accessory to the grey building.  Beyond window display the color immediately made me think of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Gates in Central Park, another river of orange in a public space.  I don’t know whose work it is…anybody got some info?

Orange sticks weave their way in and out of the anthropologie store at 18th and Walnut.

    This is the work of Anthropologie’s talented visual team!

    I’ll bet the Anthropologie design team are New York-based artists. Mary Campbell, the dadaist eternal knitter, pays her bills by designing perfume cases for Revlon. Sticks and cases are unsigned somewhat in the manner of mediaeval Church sculpture. Today we worship at chapels of commerce.

    oh snap. Just another example of Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters living up to their reputation of creative theft; screw for screw, stitch for stitch! Couldn’t the “talented visual team” have, oh, i don’t know… creatively expanded on the idea any? jeez guys.
