Needle Threading A Button in
New York (NY)

Beautiful spot for pictures

Nice statue

Cool statue to mark the garment district. Definitely do not bring a car here. So jam packed. Better to walk

For a person who sews, this is a fun place to visit and get a couple of photos.

This was our meeting place for a tour and the tour told us about the area and the significance of the needle and button

It's a beautiful statue! I just wish that it were in a better location.

OriginaL!!

Very cool sculpture for the Garment District!

Just a meeting place?

Interesting? Ehhh. I wouldn’t go out of my way to see this.

At the corner of 7th avenue and 39th Street you will find Giant Needle and Button designed by Claes Oldenburg. A statue of a garment worker toils in the shadow of the huge needle and button. This weathered-looking bronze statue is a work by Judith Weller. It depicts her father, one of a great many Jewish immigrants who moved to New York and wound up working in the garment district. Looming over the immigrant worker, the needle and button feel less whimsical and more menacingly oppressive.

Great art

Great public art that you actually understand. The button has been stabilized by the addition of a few metal 'threads'. It's fun, it's free, stop and take a selfie, and remember all the people who toiled in the garment factories to provide people with some of the clothing in the world!

A nice sculpture in New York

Beautiful interestingly u would know more about!! This amazing PLACE!!!

I remember thinking "how dope, I wonder why that's here" and someone patiently explained to me that it's the garment district and I thought oh, duh. Not my brightest moment, but the sculptures are great!

I don't know what is that. Needle and button.

This is a sculpture that fits right into the garment district.
