This pigeon sculpture, named The Dinosaur, is located on the Highline and was unveiled in mid-October and will be displayed there for the next 18 months. The sculpture is cast in aluminum and hand-painted by Ivan Argote, a Colombian-French artist. He celebrate the symbolism that pigeons have in New York City, while also challenging the traditional monuments that are typically made to pay homage to historical figures. The sculpture itself was so realistic that I found it a bit unnerving with the size difference. Overall, it was a nice experience to witness the new highline sculpture.
