“Head” by Jun Kaneko, 2007
Park Avenue at 53rd Street
New York, September 2008
“Monumental heads by Nebraska-based Jun Kaneko delight passersbys from the traffic medians at 52nd, 53rd and 54th Streets on Park Avenue. The three heads depict an Asian man with a calm expression—the artist, or perhaps the face of Buddha. Kaneko created these richly glazed ceramic works in one of his signature walk-in ‘beehive kilns.’ The project was recommended by the Fund for Park Avenue Sculpture Committee, with support from Gebert Contemporary and the Grand Central Partnership.” (
