Another Sculpture Leaving Washington, DC
The large stainless steel sculpture titled Triple Arc, by abstract stone and metal sculptor James Rosati (1911-1988), is located behind The Octagon, in the courtyard of the American Institute of Architects at New York Ave and E Street NW. Sadly, it will relocated to Queens University in Charlotte, NC.
Rosati’s most famous piece, a 23 foot tall stainless steel Ideogram was located in the World Trade Center plaza New York City, before 9-11.
Two of his pieces are also on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
The piece is being removed on Monday.
