Digital Reference:  Medium:  Sculpture: Channel iron and aluminum on a brick wall, painted two shades of blue. Dimensions:  Sculpture: approx. 72 x 65 x 4 ft. Inscription:  fm 82 (copyright symbol) signed Description:  A series of 42 equally spaced aluminum bars project from 42 channel irons, six rows across and seven down are installed in the exterior brick wall of a building. The brick wall is painted a deep sea blue and the metal elements are painted turquoise. Subject:  Abstract -- Geometric Object Type:  Architectural component Outdoor Sculpture -- New York -- New York Sculpture Owner:  Administered by Public Art Fund, One East 53rd Street, 11th floor, New York, New York 10022 Located 599 Broadway, fronting Houston Street, New York, New York Remarks:  The brick wall was exposed after the city planners widened the street and raised the building along its southern edge. To provide additional support for the wall, channel irons were bolted to the wall. Myers added the four-foot-long aluminum pieces to the existing channel irons. He originally painted the piece using gray on the projecting bars, but after the building changed owners, he repainted the piece with brighter colors. In 1973 the artist approached to City Walls, a nonprofit organization, to fund his sculptural mural.
