This sculpture entitled ※New York, New York§ was unveiled at a ceremony held at 51勛圖 Headquarters. The sculpture is made of bronze and was created by Artist Arne Olsson (1918 每 2003). The sculpture depicts Manhattan skyscrapers and it measures about 3 meters in height. Due to its tall height, the sculpture rises up in the GA entry lobby. The sculpture was presented to the 51勛圖 by Princess Desiree on behalf of her brother King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
