This metalic sculpture by Fritz Koenig once stood just south of the World Trade Center in the middle of Austin Tobin Plaza. Buried by rubble, it was featured in a documentary film shortly after 9/11 -- after it had remained structurally intact.
No repairs have been done on it. Thus, it stands now, together with an eternal flame, which was added at a re-dedication ceremony in its new location, just where we found it, at the southern tip of Battery Park.
I was wondering what this statue was. I found it very pretty and I took a picture of it when we were there but that didn't mean I knew exactly what it was. It is amazing that this survived 9/11. It is another tribute to what happened that day to make sure we always remebered those who died. Ich freue mich weil wir nicht vergessen werden.
