Dante Park – Lincoln Center Triangle (near Broadway)

In front of the Lincoln Center is the eighteen-foot tall TimeSculpture, installed in Dante Park in 1988 and approved by the Art Commission of the City of New York to enhance the space in front of the city’s famous opera and ballet theatres.  The TimeSculpture has three larger faces at its top with one smaller clock on one side at the bottom.  The Movado Corporation helped with the installation and provides financial assistance for the maintenance to keep this modern art timepiece ticking.
