JR / Unframed

JR’s “Unframed, Ellis Island” Installed at 100 Franklin Street

DDG’s 100 Franklin Street in Tribeca is now the site of a new massive mural by JR, the internationally acclaimed Parisian artist. The image is an enlargement of a photo that was originally taken in Ellis Island in 1908 and was featured in JR,’s Unframed — Ellis Island exhibit.

This same wall was the site of JR’s 100-foot ballerina. The following video by Jesse Whiles documents its transition:
