The Survivor
- Description
- This sculpture by Seward Johnson at the Grounds for Sculpture always moves me. Double Check is a life-size bronze of a businessman as he sifts through his briefcase. In 1982, it was installed in Liberty Plaza Park in lower Manhattan. On September 11, 2001, everything was in ruins, but this figure remained. Rescue workers approached him only to discover it was a sculpture. It became a memorial and metaphor for the city that survived the attack.
This version of the sculpture shows the survivor sitting among the ruins.
