Given context by the Empire State building’s tower, this Gormley figure stands on a rooftop six blocks away from it. The figure is very small within my frame, in comparison to the adjoining building and the soaring tower of the Empire State Building, but I am able to bring emphasis to it by waiting for a cloud to provide a white background. Black against white always creates the most visible contrast. This is another one of the Gormley figures that will struggle for recognition. It is the second most northerly figure in the series, standing well beyond the concentration of sculptures placed around Madison Square Park. It is the cloud and its relationship to the Empire State tower that bring it to life here.
