| Description |
The Sphere in Battery Park, New York City. The Sphere is a large metallic sculpture created in 1971 by German sculptor Fritz Koenig. It once stood in the middle of Austin Tobin Plaza, the area between the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan. After being recovered from the rubble of the Twin Towers after the September 11, 2001 attacks, its fate was initially uncertain. Although it remained structurally intact, it had been visibly damaged by debris from the airliners that were crashed into the buildings and the collapsing skyscrapers themselves. Six months after the attacks, following a documentary film about the sculpture, it was relocated to Battery Park on a temporary basis, without any repairs, and formally rededicated with an eternal flame as a memorial to the victims of 9/11. It has become a major tourist attraction, due partly to the fact that it survived the attacks with only dents and holes. |
