When the High Line park opened in New York City, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg predicted the transformation of the abandoned, elevated freight line into an artsy public promenade would be"an extraordinary gift to our city's future."
Robert Hammond, who co-founded the High Line with Joshua David and serves as the executive director of the nonprofit that manages the park in partnership with the city, said it deserves neither all the credit nor all the blame for the ultra-luxury buildings now blocking some of its views. The sculpture, Brick House, is"a very powerful female presence in a very masculine, vertical landscape," said Cecilia Alemani, the High Line's chief art curator.
Annaruma is now working at the site of a new condo tower called the Jardim going up west of the High Line. A 2016 study by the real estate website StreetEasy found that resale values for apartments adjacent to the High Line rose 10% faster than for comparable apartments a few blocks away.
