Hope Sculpture

Always loved to visit since I came over in Sep 2021 for the first time. This place has a beautiful vibe and when you see couples around cheering each other and taking photographs standing besides this HOPE, I use to pray for them :)

A truly nice sculpture with I think a great message

The Hope sculpture in New York is a striking work of public art located in the Plaza of the Citigroup Center at 153 E. 53rdStreet in Manhattan. Created by the artist Robert Indiana, the sculpture is composed of the word "HOPE" with the "O" tilted on its side. The letters are painted blue and green with a red and white tilde symbol above the "Street, Manhattan. The sculpture, created by artist Robert Indiana in 1971, consists of the word "HOPE" in bright red, capital letters, set atop the letters "OPE" in blue and green.

The sculpture has become an iconic symbol of hope and optimism, and it has served as a source of inspiration for New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. It stands at 13 feet high and weighs almost a ton. It is made of painted aluminum and has been placed in several locations around the world, including outside the Obama White House in 2008.

The Hope sculpture has become an important landmark in New York City, and it is often visited by tourists and locals alike. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and hope that characterizes the city and its people.

This is the boarding spot for UPTOWN hop on hop off bus tour.

Just remembered that one of my k pop artist J-Hope stood here and took a pic. So seeing this made my day

This place is a classic Instagram-worthy 🤳 spot in NYC! 🗽 Definitely stop by if you're walking around the city 🏙️ for a quick photoshoot. 📸 I wish the city had more spots like this!

Ever since I saw my friend who took a picture against this HOPE sculpture, I wanted to visit too. I visited this place on the Thanksgiving day, even though the day was really chilly and windy but I was able to make it and took a picture against this iconic sculpture.

Sad that people were using the side of this sculpture to place food items though it was prohibited. Nonetheless, I was able to take a good photo and enjoyed my time.

If you are in New York, don't forget to visit.

If you've got a pic of the LOVE you need this one too. On a busy corner- sometimes it's easier than others to get a picture without unwanted photobombers. There's many people rushing by to get somewhere and then there's the other tourists who jump in on your pic. The Halal Guys are right there and the Late Show theater is down the street.
