The artist said the work was a testament to 'our timeless drive to find icons in nature' as officials hoped it will 'surprise and delight' New Yorkers and visitors.
A 'masterpiece' sculpture has been unveiled in New York City paying homage to one of its most famous urban legends - alligators living in the sewers. The public art installation features a life-sized alligator on the back of a manhole cover and draws inspiration from what organisers called a 'century-old myth'.
Mr Klingspor said: 'Stories are the very backbone of human civilisation giving shape to our shared consciousness through sculptures, paintings, and architecture. 'This piece is a testament to our timeless drive to find icons in nature, and to the bridge that myth builds between the ancient and modern that still echoes today.
