Descrição
The renowned stainless-steel globe has served as a powerful symbol of NYC’s international importance since it was constructed as part of the 1964 World’s Fair. Conceived by NYC landscape design architect Gilmore David Clarke and approved by NYC Parks Commissioner (and legendary power broker) Robert Moses, the sculpture was meant to symbolize humankind’s “achievements in an expanding universe.” At 140 feet in height, 120 feet in diameter and 700,000 pounds, it’s the world’s largest model globe and serves as a great backdrop for photos.
