Isamu Noguchi's expansive steel artwork stands as a site-specific installation in the plaza of 140 Broadway, an architectural gem of Modernist design crafted by Gordon Bunshaft for Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.

Astonishingly, it achieves equilibrium on a single corner, capturing attention with its strategic positioning in the public plaza—an outcome of the city's zoning regulations that permitted a taller skyscraper in exchange for open space.

Esteemed critic Ada Louise Huxtable went so far as to label it a "remarkable highlight" against the backdrop of Bunshaft's dark steel tower.
