New Harlem Condo

Besides the great views of the Big Apple, when the 30-story Harlem condo 5th on the Park opens later this year, it will also have some monumental sculptures at the entrance and lobby for all to see on the ground level. 

5th on the Park’s developer Lew Futterman recently returned from traveling across the country to bring back work of exciting new artists like African American artist Nnamdi Okonkwo who will make a vibrant artistic statement with a large monumental stone sculpture ( to be installed at the entrance of the FX Fowle building).

Okonkwo was hand-picked by Futterman, a former rock music producer and his fashion-designer wife Starla Caldwell, who have commissioned a large stone sculpture.

Okonkwo, who was born in Nigeria, now lives and works out of his gallery in Fayetteville Georgia. His beyond life-size work is on display in galleries, buildings and public sculpture gardens across the country. The 5th on the Park piece, which is still being worked on, will be derived from a piece called (Friends) also shown on the artist’s website www.nnamdiart.com

Futterman also commissioned a large modern metal sculpture that will hang in the lobby, by artist Tim Prentice.
