Pylons at Battery Park City

Written By Abby Suckle

Artist: Martin Puryear

Collection: Battery Park City Parks Conservancy

Date: Constructed, 1995

Martin Puryear's Pylons are placed along the waterfront of the Belvedere, near the Winter Garden. The two pylons are opposite in aesthetics. One is solid and angular; the other is perforated steel mesh that spirals upward. The Pylons are designed to be viewed from either land or water; the two forms stand like columns visually connecting the two.
