Description
Public Sculpture adds beauty to our city, it inspires and entertains, but there is also a very important responsibility for cities to commission memorials and works that honor the heroes and heroines of our times. New York City has a large number of memorials, not only relating to various wars throughout time, but also unique tragedies like the Great Irish Hunger, the General Slocum Disaster, the Sinking of the Titanic, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, the AIDS crisis, 9/11…, some small, some still in the making, ranging from traditional columns or temples to contemporary immersive, with a growing understanding of what it means to mourn and the need for hope.
