Non-Violence (sculpture)

The sculpture at Non-Violence anchors a stretch of East 42nd Street south of the United Nations. Its location — the United Nations Secretariat Building, 405 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017 — keeps it squarely at the edge of midtown, where global policy meets daily commuter paths. Inside the plaza’s broad walkways, this iconic bronze render of a revolver knotted into a muzzle-up pose makes its statement with stark simplicity; no plaque whispers context, leaving the piece to speak for itself to passing delegates and tourists alike.

Built to provoke reflection, the sculpture is accessible during UN campus hours and can be reached by dialing (212) 963-8687 for lobby or visitor services.
