Hart Plaza Detroit: "Transcending"
The public art installation "Transcending" is one of the defining elements of downtown Detroit's public space at Hart Plaza. "Transcending" is the "Michigan Labor Legacy Landmark," and was financed by the UAW, the AFL-CIO, and other labor groups. It's the work of Detroit-area artists David Barr and Sergio de Giusti. The piece makes reference to Martin Luther King's famous phrase "the arc of history bends toward justice."
Behind it is the "One Woodward Plaza," a 28 story tower designed by the World Trade Center architect Minoru Yamasaki (1912-1986). It was completed in 1962, and was Yamasaki's first (and some would say most successful) high-rise structure.
