Outdoor Sculpture In New York City




New Yorkers pulled down the statue of George III in Bowling Green and melted him and the railings that protected him for bullets during the American Revolution . Since then, public sculpture, and some private sculpture too, has been part of the cityscape.


IN MANHATTAN



In Central Park


North of Conservatory Water, the sailboat pond, there is a larger than life bronze statue of Alice , sitting on a huge mushroom, playing with her cat, while the Mad Hatter and the March Hare look on. Not too far away, just West of the model boat house, there is a statue of Hans Christian Andersen , holding an open book, with the diminutive hero of The Ugly Duckling in front of him. There are about a dozen other statues in the park and in the Mall.
