Sculpted in 2006, The Duo stands tall at Columbus Circle, a silent conversation in bronze. The Duo, a 13-foot sculpture, depicts two slender figures, almost as if they grew from the trees themselves. Their arms touch, a connection that speaks volumes. This impressive work by David Hostetler overlooks the bustling energy of Broadway. The Duo was originally a tribute to Hostetler’s wife, a testament to their bond. It found a new purpose when prominent architect Philip Johnson selected it as a memorial. It honors Dan Galbreath, an Ohio real estate developer and philanthropist connected to the Trump International Hotel and Tower. Hostetler is renowned for his bronze sculptures. His works grace over 25 museums and galleries, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. The Duo, with its rough, textured surface, stands as a powerful image of connection. It’s a moving piece in a vibrant location, a quiet moment amidst the city’s noise. The Duo’s presence at Columbus Circle provides a powerful artistic statement. It’s a unique memorial and a reminder of the power of human connection. It silently observes the flow of life below. The Duo, a gift from a husband to his wife, a memorial to a philanthropist. It is a work of art that invites you to pause. It makes you reflect amidst the rhythm of the city.
