I was able to photograph this Gormley figure in profile against the wall of a neighboring building. This image is a melding of art, then and now. The Victorian embellishment on the building to the right of the Gormley figure offers a strong contrast in time and style to the stripped down reddish brown figure. Given historical context, the image also tells a story about for New York’s artistic evolution. The figure stands upon a six-story building at 204 Fifth Avenue, once the site of the Schaus Art Gallery, one of New York’s finest. When the art gallery moved uptown, a bank replaced it. Today, Pentagram, an internationally renowned design firm, occupies the building this figure stands upon.
