Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Alamo, also known as the Astor Place Cube or simply The Cube, is an outdoor sculpture by Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal, located on Astor Place, in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It is a black cube, 8 feet (2.4 m) long on each side, mounted on a corner. The cube is made of Cor-Ten steel and weighs about 1,800 pounds (820 kg). The faces of the cube are not flat but have various indentations, protrusions, and ledges. The sculpture's name, Alamo, is designated on a small plaque on the base and was selected by the artist's wife because its scale and mass reminded her of the Alamo Mission. It was fabricated by Lippincott, Inc.

Summary from Español / Spanish Wikipedia (eswiki)

Alamo, también conocido como el Cubo de Astor Place, o simplemente El Cubo, es una escultura al aire libre de Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal, situada en Astor Place, en Manhattan (Nueva York). Tiene forma de cubo negro de 2,4 metros de largo de lado, apoyado sobre una esquina. El cubo está hecho de acero corten, y pesa en torno a 820 kg. Las caras del cubo no son planas, ya que tienen varias muescas, salientes y cornisas. No se le conoce mayoritariamente como Álamo, aunque es el nombre indicado en una pequeña placa en una esquina de la base, y que fue seleccionado por la esposa del artista, porque su escala y la masa le recordaba a la Misión de El Álamo. Generalmente se le llama simplemente El Cubo de Astor Place Cubo, o El Cubo.[1]​[2]​
