World Peace, 18×24 New York City Battery Park, July 2007.  Status: Sold.  Story: Fritz Koenig‘s The Sphere once stood in the plaza between the World Trade Center towers as a symbol of world peace.  Damaged yet enduring, its symbolism is richer than ever, now located at the Battery Park.  On a personal note: My family loved New York City’s Battery Park as a quiet sanctuary away from the mayhem on the rest of Manhattan Island.  My son initially tried to rescue me from the interactive fountain, but latter led me back in for a closer look.
