Shadows and Flags in Nevelson Plaza

This week we visited Lower Manhattan, a place that combines the oldest buildings with interesting modern buildings and pieces of public art, one of the places that got my attention was the Nevelson plaza. This space is located on Maiden Laine and Liberty Street, and it´s one of the first to honor an artist woman in New York City. The artist is Louise Nevelson, she designed for this plaza a serie of sculptures that she called “Shadows and Flags”. These sculptures, made of steel and painted in black, seems to be floating like flags due their height and sunlight creates shadows that gives them a sense of dynamism and movement, and contrast whit the buildings of the whole area.
