May Slideshow: Creature Feature

David Wojnarowicz is no stranger to provocative images, but his 1987 collage, Street Kid (formerly on view at P.P.O.W. Gallery’s exhibition “Spirituality” which ended in April), with its skulls, mermaids, crowns, and depictions of Atlas holding up the earth, might be—for him—on the tame side.

Even though the giant king cobra who, in a flurry of news coverage and twitter posts, escaped the Bronx Zoo in March was found a few weeks later, it seems like otherworldly beasts and mythic creatures are sweeping the country.

This month we serve up 12 images from around that art world that prove that THEY are taking over.
