American artist, designer and sculptor Isamu Noguchi’s red Cube sculpture is located at Broadway and Liberty Street in Manhattan’s Financial District.
Officially called The Cube, the red 28-foot- (or 8.5-meter-) high steel and aluminium rhombohedron, perched on its corner with a cylindrical hole punched through its center, was installed in the public plaza opposite Zuccotti Park (formerly Liberty Plaza Park) in 1968.
Noguchi was commissioned to create the sculpture during construction of the 51-story office block at 140 Broadway (formerly known as the Marine Midland Building or the HSBC Bank Building), to be installed outside the completed building, where it still stands today.
