Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox artwork Double Check is a 1982 sculpture by John Seward Johnson II, located across from Zuccotti Park at the corner of Liberty Street and Broadway in Manhattan, New York City. The bronze sculpture portrays a well-dressed businessman sitting with his briefcase open, which are filled with office materials getting ready to enter an office building. The statue is notable for its association with the 9/11 attacks.

History

The sculpture was installed before the September 11 attacks serving as an art piece. However, after the attack, it became a memorial site, with people leaving flowers, notes, and candles. Photos were taken where the sculpture was covered in ash after the attack with it suffering minor damage. It was moved multiple times and was moved for the final time across from Zuccotti Park (then Liberty Park). The statue was removed to be cleaned and was returned to its original place in June 1, 2006.Шаблон:Efn
