Ugo Rondinone, the Swiss-born, New York-based artist, has created a major work of public art for Rockefeller Center. Human Nature includes nine colossal stone figures, standing like ancient sentries along the full length of Rockefeller Plaza between 49th and 50th Streets. Ranging in height from 16 to 20 feet, they weigh up to 30,000 lbs each.
