On the north side of Burk Burnett Park in downtown Fort Worth, a 50-foot-tall aluminum sculpture of a man holding a briefcase provides photographers and selfie-takers with one of the city’s best photo ops. Designed by Maine-based sculptor and printmaker, Jonathan Borofsky, the hollowed silhouette, which many believe to be a representation of Charles Tandy — of Fort Worth’s Tandy Corporation/RadioShack — is a depiction of an “everyman.” Similar works by Borofsky appear in Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, Seoul, and Frankfort.
