As a seasoned New Yorker with decades of urban jungle survival under my belt, I can’t help but appreciate the unique and intriguing pieces that grace our cityscape from time to time. The latest addition to the High Line, Ivan Argote’s towering pigeon sculpture, has certainly caught my eye (and many others) as it looms over Tenth Avenue at 30th Street.
A large, artistic representation of a pigeon called ‘Dinosaur’, created by Colombian artist Ivan Argote, has taken up residence on the High Line in Downtown Manhattan. This 16-foot tall sculpture is the result of Argote’s imagination.
1. Pigeons aren’t considered the regal birds in the animal world, unlike eagles and hawks. But one particular pigeon sculpture by Argote is quite captivating and stands out at a busy intersection in New York City. He only hopes it won’t lead to any accidents as people hurry past Tenth Avenue at 30th Street.
As a self-proclaimed emissary of New York City, I aim to reshape the perception of our feathered friends – pigeons. In an interview, I shared that these birds are more than just common city creatures; they’re symbols of diverse reactions. Iconic as they may be, they also dwell in the grimy corners of our bustling metropolis. Many individuals who call the streets their home or spend most of their lives there share a unique bond with pigeons. Sometimes, these birds exhibit behaviors that seem surprisingly human, like taking the subway system. To me, that’s where we find a reflection of ourselves – in their resilience and adaptability.
As a gamer, I recently stumbled upon an exciting new addition to the High Line’s plinth activation – it’s none other than a breathtaking sculpture of a dinosaur! Previously, this space has been graced by works like a fluorescent pink tree by Swiss artist Pamela Rosenkranz and Simone Leigh’s Brick House (2019).
Similar to a dinosaur, Argote’s sculptural counterpart embodies a vestige of humanity that “persists—much like pigeons do—in the shadowy niches and vacant spaces of forthcoming worlds. I sense this artwork could provoke an eerie sensation of allure, enticement, and apprehension among New York’s denizens.” The artwork is presently showcased at the High Line until Spring 2026.
