DESIGN: The Empire State Building’s new glass installation references its Machine Age history

FILED UNDER: Design, News

Visitors entering the Empire State Building from the 34th Street entrance and approaching the information desk are greeted by a glass art installation entitled Circle In by Brooklyn glass artist Denise Amses of Amses Cosma Studios. The 16-panel, etch-glass art installation measures 13-feet-wide by 5-feet-high and weighs almost 2,900 pounds. Completed after 12 months of work by Amses, the panels are the final element in a $20 million lobby renovation by Malkin Holdings, owner of the iconic building. “It was always part of our conception of the lobby to place this specially commissioned art installation at the focal point of tenant reception of the recreated lobby,” said Anthony E. Malkin of Empire State Building Company in a prepared statement. “Now, it is finally in place as the final touch of the Empire State Building’shistoric lobby restoration project.”
