HISTORIA DE LOS RASCACIELOS DE NUEVA YORK

Today, in the "Historia de los Rascacielos de Nueva York" blog (in Spanish), we share the article about two buildings of the transition to Modernism in the mid-20th century: the buildings 477 Madison Avenue and 261 Madison Avenue (1953 and 1954).

Among this announcement of a fiberoptic light art installation in the giant pit on 1st avenue south of the UN is an interesting new brand identity:

Scheduled to open this winter for a yearlong residence, English-Australian artist Bruce Munro is bringing his “Field of Light” public art installation to Manhattan’s East Side. The immersive piece will transform more than 6 acres, from 38th Street to 41st Street on First Avenue, at the mixed-use Freedom Plaza space near the United Nations Headquarters.

What is the mixed-use Freedom Plaza space? It is of course the giant pit where a Con Edison plant once stood, which Con Ed sold to Sheldon Solow in 2000. The plant was demolished in 2008 and the rezoned six-acre site has sat vacant ever since. This light installation is part of the Soloviev Group’s (now run by Solow’s son Stefan Soloviev among other duties parenting his 20+ children and being the 26th largest landowner in the US) bid to site a casino and a lot of other buildings there.
