More Park Art

One of our recent travels revealed a new sculpture.  The gleaming statue soars 33 feet in the middle of Park Avenue at 52nd Street.  Below are some photos.

The figure is a person with its head leaning backward, while looking skyward and to the right.  Since the statue is on Park Avenue in the 50's, there are plenty of skyscrapers that draw attention upward.  So, the statue is well placed.  

Before looking at what the artist named the statue, we guessed at some possible names.  Please feel free to add your own guesses.  The actual name appears at the end.  Our suggestions:

"Living Dangerously, or Looking Up in a City Full of Pigeons"

"The Tallest Human Ever Arrives in New York.  The NY Knicks' Prayers are Finally Answered."

"Hey You, Don't Jump."
"Is That a Bird, a Plane?  No, it's Superman!"
