Statue: Male/Female

Here's another Jonathan Borofsky statue titled "Male/Female" outside of Penn Station, Baltimore, MD. I saw this statue for the first time about a year ago. I had know idea who made it, but thought it was pretty interesting. When writing the last post, I checked out Borofsky's website and saw this one listed.

It's a pretty interesting location for such a contemporary statue. I think it fits though. After all we're contemporary people moving through spaces that have been around for ages. Also being outside of Penn Station (a train station) it really reflects (no pun intended) the coming and going of men and women through this space every day. Similarly, the Hammering Man is creating... making something... and he's located outside the art museum. What do they say in real estate? "Location! Location! Location!" I think I like these everyman statues after all.
