In early June, 2023 two monumental sculptures by Harry H. Gordon were installed at Pitney Park in Mendham, New Jersey. Pitney Park is located on Cold Hill Road between Ballantine and Shelton Road.
On June 29, 2023 an official ribbon cutting was held at Pitney Park. A nice crowd gathered to welcome two sculptures by Harry H. Gordon.
Oscar stone 14 x 7 x 3 feet $175,000
“I created ‘Oscar’ from two stones that a sculptor friend salvaged from a construction site in New York City and a stone discarded from a stone quarry in Pennsylvania. Naming a sculpture can prove difficult, but ‘Oscar’ chose his own name: I used a blanket to protect the stone while final grouting and in large letters on the blanket the excess grout spelled out ‘Oscar’.”
-Harry H. Gordon
Flying Canoe 10 x 9 x 9 feet black granite $175,000
“Stone is an ancient building material, and the arch is a classic example of stonework in the past. I am using the weight of the top two elements to hold the bottom two elements up, creating an arch. ‘Flying Canoe’ is a Passamquoddy legend, as it is possible to see in this sculpture the man in the canoe flying over the water.”
