At the end of the tour of 270 Park, Foster and David Arena, the JPMorgan executive, returned to the company’s temporary headquarters, and spent a few minutes talking about Foster’s piece of kinetic art for the new building. It will mark his New York début as a visual artist. A few years ago, Foster conceived of a “cloud sculpture” for a planned restaurant at 425 Park Avenue, to be run by Daniel Humm, of Eleven Madison Park. But Humm’s embrace of veganism scared off his would-be landlord, and these clouds were never made.
For JPMorgan, Foster has designed a set of four forty-foot tapering, fluted, bronze-clad columns, serving as flagpoles. Three of them will stand outdoors, in front of the Park Avenue entrance. The fourth will be in the lobby. The flag there will be moved by air forced out at the top of the pole. “It flutters, but is not a hologram,” Foster said, happily. “It’s very tangible.”
