KING KONG, THE BAGGIE.

KING KONG, THE BAGGIE. The sculptures of Joshua Allen Harris remind me of the day I walked out of my apartment building, walked to the corner and saw about a mile away a giant inflated King Kong climbing the Empire State Building. It was an ad for the Dino de Laurentiis remake, so Google tells me this must have been in 1976. I took the subway to midtown and when I came out, I looked back at the Empire State Building. The King Kong had already deflated and was simply a giant baggie flapping against the building. I loved both parts of the experience—Kong inflated and Kong deflated.
