This 2-tonne Art Deco statue of Atlas is the largest sculptural work at Rockefeller Center. The statue depicts Atlas carrying the heavens upon his shoulders as punishment for defying Zeus. I remembered seeing this statue on magazines and books a very long time ago and so is one of my "must-see" on my first visit to NYC. I was surprised by how tall the statue actually is.
