Art Inside the Essex Street Market, Circa 1969

Although it was posted a few weeks ago, we didn’t notice this little treasure on YouTube until this afternoon: artist Bill Barrell’s “Colossal Fruit & Vegetable Show at the Essex Street Market” from 1969. At billbarrel.com, you can read a full explanation from the artist. The installation was documented by Barrell’s brother, Barrie, and transferred from film this year. Watch the video after the jump.
