'Five in One' by Tony Rosenthal

'Five in One' by Tony Rosenthal
New York, New York (NY), US
If you walk through the Municipal Building’s archway, you’ll enter Police Plaza and be immediately confronted by Bernard Rosenthal’s Five in One (1974) which is 30 feet high and 75 tons of Cor-ten steel. It is now painted bright red, according to Rosenthal’s original design (although lack of funds left the statue unpainted for years after it was completed). Rosenthal calls the sculpture abstract, but many people choose to see the five boroughs intertwined symbolically.
