“The stone figure is the most archetypal representation of the human form; an elemental symbol of the human spirit, connected to the earth yet mythic in the imagination. The image of the figure belongs to nobody, is timeless, and universal” – Ugo Rondinone
The work belongs to one of Ugo Rondinone’s most important and iconic body of works, first commissioned by the Public Art Fund of New York, Human Nature (2013). The outdoor exhibition of nine stone figure megaliths stood almost as sentries along Rockefeller Plaza from 49th to 50th Street in New York.
