It looks like artist Christo got to the iconic glass cube of Apple’s Fifth Avenue store. Too bad for all those tourists who came to take pictures of one of the Big Apple’s most snapped attractions.
They’ll be milling around aimlessly outside for some time as the glass cube is removed and replaced.
That’s what happened to Twitter user @esk89 who snapped the above pic, wondering, “Apple what are you guys up to? Where is the cube?”
It’ll be interesting to see whether there will be a possible dent in sales — this Apple store has been outperforming neighbors like Tiffany’s, selling the equivalent of a Mercedes-Benz C300 in iPods, MacBooks and iPhones per square foot.
Between this renovation and the temporary closure of the Soho store, it may be a cruel summer for visitors to New York.
