The iconic giant art fixture known as “Dinosaur” created by artist Iván Argote which was installed in October 2024, is planning to be removed in Spring 2026.

“Dinosaur” the giant pigeon quickly became a well beloved and appreciated staple of the High Line. Keeping watch overlooking 10th Avenue and 30th Street, the pigeon is a symbol of resilience, perseverance, and represents NYC and all it stands for.

Removing the sculpture would eliminate a piece of art that has already become deeply meaningful to the community in a short period of time.

We call on the High Line, NYC Parks, and relevant partners to work collaboratively with the artist to extend the installation or to designate the pigeon sculpture as a permanent public artwork.
