Man With A Hat

This unusual sculpture ....hmm maybe it wouldn't qualify as an actual sculpture. How about a silhouette?
stands 50 ft. tall in a small park (Burnett Park), in downtown Ft. Worth. It is titled The Man With A Briefcase, and was done by Johnathan Borofsky. I for some reason always think of it as The Man With The Hat.

 It stands across the street from our tallest building Burnett Plaza (567ft.), and is supposed to capture the essence of worldwide business.

  1. These silhouettes are unusual; the Univesity of St. Thomas has similar ones on its St. Paul campus. Guess it is time for another look!

  2. Rather original, but I notice the hat more than the suitcase indeed. For me he is also the man with the hat.

  5. I'm with you, the hat is far more obvious than the briefcase.
