Abstract (en)

Analysis of the most recently completed work of public art at Battery Park City, New York--the plaza in front of the World Financial Center buildings--noting the subtlety of this collaborative project. Focuses on the contributions of sculptors Scott Burton and Siah Armajani, noting their role as advocates of a new approach to public sculpture--a conception that subordinates personal artistic style to the functional requirements of the site.
