Ideogram was a stainless steel sculpture in New York City by American sculptor James Rosati, completed in 1972. The work consisted of a number of intersecting beams with reflective surfaces.

Located between the Twin Towers, in front of the Marriott World Trade Center, the work was lost in the September 11 attacks. Though the sculpture may have survived the attacks and collapse of the buildings, its steel material was indistinguishable from the Ground Zero rubble. As a result, the sculpture was never recovered, and its remains were removed from Ground Zero along with the rest of the rubble.

Bent Propeller By Alexander Calder. The work was destroyed in 2001 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, crushed under thousands of tons of rubble when 7 World Trade Center collapsed. About 40 percent of the sculpture was recovered from the debris in the following months. With not enough of the original remaining for a restoration, the recovered elements were stored by the Calder Foundation. Today, a portion of the sculpture can be found at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_Propeller)

The Sphere The world's largest bronze sculpture of modern times stood between the twin towers on the Austin J. Tobin Plaza of the World Trade Center in New York City from 1971 until the September 11 attacks. The work, weighing more than 20 tons, was the only remaining work of art to be recovered largely intact from the ruins of the collapsed twin towers. After being dismantled and stored near a hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the sculpture was the subject of the 2001 documentary Koenig's Sphere. Since then, the bronze sphere has become a memorial for the attacks.

The spherical caryatid was installed in Battery Park between 2002 and 2017, when the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey moved it to Liberty Park, overlooking the September 11 Memorial and its original location. The sculpture, rededicated at its permanent location on August 16, 2017, has been kept in the condition it was found in after the September 11 attacks.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sphere)

Cloud Fortress The World Trade Center Plaza Sculpture, also called Cloud Fortress, was a sculpture created by Japanese artist Masayuki Nagare in 1972, located at the World Trade Center complex at the Church Street entrance to site's the primary internal 6-acre plaza.

Having survived the September 11 attacks, the sculpture was demolished during subsequent emergency efforts to access and clear the site. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_Plaza_Sculpture)

Miró is hard. Anyone been to the foundation in Barcelona ?

might off topic but here is a video an artist took on 9/10/01

from a youtube comment: "Monika Bravo was one of the artists on the 91st floor of tower 1 where the city of New York leased them a studio. She was waiting all summer for the chance to film a thunderstorm from up there but until the 10th she did not get that opportunity. So she grabbed it with both hands when said opportunity arose the day before 9/11. She went back up later that night to grab her videotape whilst another artist was still working on one of his sculptures. She initially planned to stay over in the studio for the night but her boyfriend thought it was a bad idea, so she went back home. The artist working on his sculpture stayed and was the only one there on 08 46 the next day when the first plane hit right above his floor. That artist was Michael Richards who was working on a mold/statue of himself being hit by dozens of airplanes. It's like he predicted his own death! Sometimes I wonder if he actually saw the plane coming.

Life can be weird sometimes."

Thought this thread was going to be about the lost art of flying planes into building, pleasantly surprised

rest in peace to anyone that was lost on that day

I know this world gets crazy… what’s it without you?

Interesting thread. Some of the WTC interiors were also quite beautiful.



These photos come from Konstantin Petrov, an Estonian electrician who worked night shifts at the WTC and took lots of pictures on the job. He started work in June 2001, so these pictures all date to the very last months of the towers' existence. His original photo albums are still accessible on the Estonian image sharing website Fotki
