Public Art Installation in Fort Tryon Park

NYC Parks has unveiled “TOMB EFFIGY OF MARGARET CORBIN” by artist Zaq Landsberg, the 2020 recipient of the Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award! The artwork will be displayed on Fort Tryon Park’s Linden Terrace through June 2022. The award provided $10,000 for the artist’s work, which pays tribute to Revolutionary War hero Margaret Corbin (1751–1800), considered the first woman to fight for America, and namesake of several Fort Tryon Park features.
