The Sheffield Courtyard, Now Home To An Exclusive Sculpture By Acclaimed Artist David Hostetler

Oct. 25, 2012 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY-(OCTOBER, 2012) The Sheffield luxury condominium recently hosted an intimate gathering to celebrate the installation of a sculpture by acclaimed artist David Hostetler. Mr. Hostetler, a world-renowned and celebrated sculptor was on hand to officially reveal the white sculpture, named IKON, which he exclusively designed for The Sheffield. The event took place in the building’s courtyard plaza and was followed by a reception on the 54th floor in one of the building’s beautifully-designed model homes which features spectacular views of the City skyline.

Over 75 guests attended the event and got the first look at the visually captivating IKON, a 13 feet tall sculpture reminiscent of a historical goddess painted in bright white.  The unveiling ceremony began with the introduction of the artist by a representative of The Sheffield. Once introduced, the artist briefly gave a speech on his inspiration behind IKON and creating the unique piece. As with the majority of Mr. Hostetler’s pieces, he is often inspired by the female form, and counts his wife as his muse.

Soon after the ceremony, attendees enjoyed delectable hors d’oeuvres by David Burke with whom The Sheffield has an exclusive partnership for residents, while reveling in the striking sunset views from the model home overlooking the Hudson River.
