Notes
	Abstract:	Hammering Man at 2,938,405" stands 24 feet high and represents the signature work of artist Jonathan Borofsky. The sculpture represents an imposing and dynamic figure of a man cut as a silhouette from corten steel. The man holds a hammer which he raises and lowers in the repetitive gesture of an industrial laborer paying tribute to the universal worker and to those who still work with their hands in a mechanized world. Borofsky's work is often inspired by the world of memories and dreams which he uses to explore the meaning of ordinary existence rather than the depths of the subconscious. Mathematics and counting also play a role as a meditative component of the artists work and as a way part in identifying the piece. This work is one of several site specific versions of "Hammering Man" around the world from Los Angeles, Seattle, Basel and Frankfurt.
