| Some 30 artists were involved in the public bodypainting session |
NEW YORK---A group of artists in New York have painted a group of 40 nude models in public to celebrate the human form. The bodypainting session in Central Park was followed by a march along Broadway and a photo shoot in the city's Times Square. Artist
Andy Golub claimed New York was the only US city where the bodypainting day would be allowed. Public nudity as part of a performance or a show is permitted in New York. As the organiser, Golub was granted a licence to hold Saturday's event which had the agreement of police. Golub says on his website that "art shouldn't be limited to canvases or bound to be in only indoor spaces. To me, art is about self-discovery and sharing it with people". [
