NY artist to photograph 2,008 nudists in Viennese soccer field
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — It might be a good time to make strategic use of a yellow card.
New York contemporary artist Spencer Tunick has gained notoriety worldwide for photographing thousands of people in the nude. Now he’s planning to pack a Vienna soccer stadium with 2,008 naked fans in the run-up to the Euro 2008 tournament.
Austria’s national railway said Thursday it will offer free travel to the first 2,008 men and women who sign up to bare it all for the May 11 spectacle.
Tunick wants to pose them on the field inside Ernst Happel Stadium, where the tournament final will be played. Austria and Switzerland are co-hosting the event, which runs from June 7-29.
The Brooklyn-based artist has draped naked bodies in front of the United Nations and in more than 70 other locations from Montreal to Melbourne, Australia.
