The Red Cube is a sculpture by Isamu Noguchi and is located in front of 140 Broadway, between Liberty and Cedar Streets in New York City. The bright red painted steel of the Red Cube stands out in strong contrast to the blacks, browns, and whites of the buildings and sidewalks around the sculpture. The Red Cube balances on one corner, the opposite corner reaching towards the sky and despite its title, the sculpture is not actually a cube, but instead seems as though it has been stretched along its vertical axis. Through the center of the cube there is a cylindrical hole, revealing an inner surface of gray with evenly-spaced lines moving from one opening of the hole to the other.
