The artworks are on display throughout the interior and exterior of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan through June 28.

"Frieze Sculpture will encourage exploration of the whole campus, including its interior spaces, and hidden histories," Frieze New York said in its announcement of the installation.

Curator Brett Littman said the installation project was inspired by Isamu Noguchi's News, a 22-foot-tall bas-relief sculpture of five journalists at 50 Rockefeller Plaza.
