Union Square NY, NY Collaborating with the City of New York Parks Department landscape architects, we created a timeline illustrating the rich history of Union Square.
The imagery for many of the panels was appropriated from earlier artists who depicted events in the Square. Others reference days past, such as this panel which celebrates the Square as former home to many of NYC's theatres and concert halls.
The timeline consists of twenty bronze panels inset into a block-long ellipse of bluestone pavers with inscribed dates.
