The Guardians: Hero and Superhero, by architect and designer ANTONIO PIO SARACINO, are new public sculptures that represent two legendary civic heroes. The pair of 13-foot-high statues, one in marble and the other in mirror polished stainless steel, will be positioned at the north and south ends of the public plaza at 1095 Avenue of the Americas at Bryant Park, between 41st and 42nd Streets.
The Guardians symbolize past and present. The sculptures will remain on view indefinitely, creating a new landmark in the center of Manhattan.
