My own photos (2010) of the 21 panel concrete cast sculpture by Constantine Nivola on the exterior of the Connecticut Post Building, 410 State Street, Bridgeport, CT. The following link from the Smithsonian Institute describes the panel content created by the artist for the newspaper buiding: http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=1288UY170V172.40392&profile=ariall&uri=link=3100011~!297143~!3100001~!3100002&aspect=Browse&menu=search&ri=3&source=~!siartinventories&term=Connecticut+Post,+Bridgeport,+Connecticut&index=#focus
The sculpture is actually located on the east side of the building and not the west side as written in the Smithsonian description. The corner of Lafayette Boulevard and State Street is the best view. The piece has been there since 1966 and is often unnoticed or passed by in this downtown area.
