3D Animation Gay Liberation Monument

Commissioned in 1979, on the 10th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the work was the first piece of public art dedicated to LGBT rights. Cast by American artist George Segal, the installation features four figures, two men and two women in relaxed poses. Although intended for New York city, officials deemed the work too controversial and it was first installed in Madison, Wisconsin. The monument was finally moved to New York in 1992 and along with the two benches and nearby plaque were dedicated part of the Stonewall National Monument on June 23, 1992
