RIVER EAST - Tonight is your last night to see "Forever Marilyn,” the 26-foot tall sculpture by American artist Seward Johnson. The process of dismantling the blonde giant will happen tonight with the ideal viewing at 10PM. If you show up on The Avenue you'll see cranes and levitating body parts - this will be the ultimate photo op. Far better than a peace sign pose, a Tim Tebow prayer pose or an upskirt lookie-loo pose. [Racked Wire]
