[edit] History
In 1986, American sculptor Mark di Suvero created Socrates Sculpture Park on an abandoned landfill.
In 2005, the park was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a US$20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.[1][2]
