“The Marriage of Money and Real Estate” by Tom Otterness, 1996
Roosevelt Island
New York, September 2008
“Tom Otterness (b. 1952) is a well-known sculptor of public art in NYC, distinguished by a cartoonish and cheerful style often consisting of pudgy blobs and depicting the struggles of the ‘little guy’ in a wondrous and difficult city. ‘The Marriage of Money and Real Estate’ on the northwest riverfront is especially clever with characters that appear to be being devoured by symbolic sea creatures depending on the level of the tide.” (The Marriage of Money and Real Estate, Michael Minn)
