#49 Legend Revived: An Alligator in New York

Have you heard the myth of alligators lurking in the New York City sewers? The legend has endured for well over a century and was recently immortalized when Swedish artist Alexander Klingspor unveiled his monumental sculpture New York City Legend in New York's Union Square last month. Alexander turned to sculpture during the pandemic and created a masterpiece inspired by the resilience of both the large reptiles and New Yorkers, depicting a life-size bronze alligator curled around a New York manhole cover. Join as we talk to Alexander about the artistic process of bringing his vision to life, what he hopes visitors take away from New York City Legend and what's next for him in 2024.   Produced by Figaro Music & Media Group
