A beloved black spinning cube at Astor Place is in such sad shape that it’s now saddled in a metal brace while city moguls mull repair of the massive art installation — and neighbors rail at the blatant neglect of a nearly half-century old treasure.
“It looks like it was hit by a truck,” one passerby muttered while walking through the traffic island near the buckled-down installation.The art installation is in a state of disrepair as the city mulls restoration plans.In May, braces were placed around the structure to keep the cube from spinning, local outlet The Village Sun reported.
“If we went east, we pushed it that way. When we’d leave, we’d push it the other way,” Phillips, a 30-year-old photographer raised in Jamaica, remembered of the “Alamo.” “It was our thing — every time we came here, this was the block that we had to hit; we always turned it.”
