Installation of "Asaf and Yo'ah"
at The Time Warner Center - South Tower
(page two of two)
At 8am on April 29th, 2004, "Asaf and Yo'ah" arrive on a flat bed truck in front of the Time Warner Center's South Residential Tower.
The piece is lifted off the truck by crane. An A-frame gantry is built and the 3-ton sculpture is moved into position on the concrete pad.
Notice the blankets used to protect the marble and the reddish colored masonite boards used to protect the granite pavement tiles.
Vaadia assembles Yo'ah on site. Here, he puts glue on certain layers of the leg.
Vaadia and the staff of More Specialized Transport assemble Yo'ah in several segments. They place the layers on threaded rods to insure stability.
The layers are then bolted together. Only the top layer of the head remains to be added.
Vaadia sits with the installed piece.
In the weeks to come lighting and plants will be added to the
area around th base to complete the process.
