The distant monumental 15' rotating black CorTem Street Cube, poised on its tip, is located on a traffic island at Cooper Square and Lafayette Street. The Astor Place Station is behind the trees. Apparently the cube can be spun. Designed by Tony Rosenthal it is called 'Alamo' (1967). It was the first sculpture to be introduced to NYC by the Parks Department. View from the 10th floor stairwell of my building on 4th Avenue between 11th and 12th street.
Makes me feel so small! Nice perspective. http://www.looseleafnotes.com/2013/01/snowblower/
ReplyDeleteI suppose the idea was to echo the lines of the buildings around. It actually doesn't look out of place. I like your viewpoint.
