11. Descension
As part of a year-long celebration of the Public Art Fund’s 40th Anniversary, Descension was unveiled in the spring on 2017 at Pier 1’s Bridge View Lawn. The piece was created by London-based artist Anish Kapoor and featured a whirlpool of water that mesmerizingly swirled into the center. The twenty-six foot whirlpool had previously appeared in other countries around the globe, but this was its first appearance in North America. Kapoor’s former work includes the Sky Mirror at Rockefeller Center and Cloud Gate in Chicago’s Millennium Park.
