Artist Tom Fruin Installs a New Glass Water Tower in Brooklyn Bridge Park

Dumbo artist Tom Fruin has installed another sparkling, stained glass sculpture in the shape of a water tower at 334 Furman Street in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The multicolored structure will be lit up at night and powered by a solar array on the roof of the building, which serves as the offices for Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation. The artist said the water tower should be illuminated by next weekend and will stay up for a year.

Fruin installed his first water tower on the roof of Dumbo’s 20 Jay Street two years ago, and it has quickly become an iconic part of the neighborhood’s skyline. Earlier this fall, the sculptor built a stained glass house on the waterfront in Brooklyn Bridge Park as part of Dumbo Arts Festival. The house was originally supposed to remain through March, but the artist told us the park is now letting it stay through September. Click through to see an interior shot of the water tower.
