Group of Four Trees is a striking black and white sculpture located in the Chase Manhattan Bank Plaza in New York City. Designed by artist Jean Dubuffet, the sculpture stands in contrast to the straight lines and uniformity of the nearby bank building. The irregular surfaces and varying heights of the four trees create a dynamic and eye-catching presence in the plaza. Constructed of synthetic plastic over an aluminum frame, Group of Four Trees is part of Dubuffet's larger series called L'Hourloupe. The sculpture, although not representing real trees, evokes a sense of organic movement and adds a touch of nature to the urban setting. Its presence challenges the viewer's perception and invites contemplation of the relationship between public art and architecture.Generated from the website
