Bulls and bears — and pears, too.
A massive new sculpture exhibition is set to turn Broadway, from the Upper West Side to Washington Heights, into a bronze wild kingdom.
The exhibit will feature nearly 20 huge sculptures of bulls, elephants and other creatures plus fruit and other oddities forged by Connecticut artist Peter Woytuk.
The works — some as high as 13 feet — will be placed in parks and other open spaces along Broadway, starting tonight.
The large bronze sculptures will be trucked in on 18-wheelers from Connecticut and installed in open spaces along the route from Columbus Circle, where a pair of life-size elephant figures will stand, to Mitchell Square Park, at 168th Street, which will feature one of Woytuk’s signature works, “3 Bulls.”
The exhibit will officially open on Oct. 21.
Sponsored by the Broadway Mall Association, it is scheduled to run until April.
