The New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Albany, New York is dedicated to the New York firefighters who have died in the line of duty.
 Governor of New York George Pataki officially dedicated the memorial on October 5, 1998.
 It features a 54 ft by 15 ft gray granite wall, with 2,312 names permanently etched into the stone.
 In front of the wall stands a 10 ft high dark bronze sculpture of two firefighters rescuing an injured colleague created by NY sculptor Robert Eccleston.
 The sculpture rests on a paved plaza with charcoal and red bricks forming a Maltese Cross.
 The Memorial stands on the northeast side of the Empire State Plaza in the park-like area bordered by Norway maples.
 It is easily accessible to the hundreds of thousand of visitors who travel to the New York State Capitol and Plaza each year.
The Frederick Douglass Memorial is a memorial commemorating Frederick Douglass, installed at the northwest corner of New York City's Central Park, in the U.S. state of New York.
 The memorial includes an 8-foot bronze sculpture depicting Douglass by Gabriel Koren and a large circle and fountain designed by Algernon Miller.
 Additionally, Quennell Rothschild & Partners is credited as the memorial's architecture, and Polich-Tallix served as the foundry.
 The memorial was dedicated on September 20, 2011, and was funded by the Percent for Art program and the Department of Cultural Affairs.

 It was erected in memory of Louis Daguerre.
West Albany is a hamlet in the town of Colonie, Albany County, New York.
 Parts of the neighboring city of Albany around Watervliet Avenue Extension and Industrial Park Road are also considered part of West Albany and includes the majority of the West Albany Rail Yard.
 The hamlet lies along Albany's northern border and was once home to many industries including one of the largest cattle stockyards in the United States, a large railroad switching yard, and a Tobin First Prize packing plant.
 Those industries are gone now and the community is mostly a residential suburb of Albany in the shadow of abandoned industrial complexes.
 West Albany has historically been ethnically diverse with Polish, Italian, Irish, German, and English immigrants drawn by the 5,000+ jobs at the West Albany Rail Yard.
 Though the neighborhood is predominately Italian-American, it remains diverse with the Polish American Citizens Club, the West Albany Italian Benevolent Society, the Bet Shraga Hebrew Academy, and a Korean worship center in the former St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church.
Jonathan Scott Hartley (September 23, 1845 – 1912), American sculptor, was born at Albany, New York.
Jim Reno (1929–2008) was a bronze sculptor who focused his artistic abilities on western themes and famous horses, such as Secretariat.
 Reno's most notable sculpture is titled "Secretariat—31 Lengths" which is on display at the National Museum of Racing at Saratoga, New York.
 He was also commissioned in 1973 by Secretariat's owner Penny Chenery (Tweedy) to sculpt a life-size bronze of the horse for the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.
 Reno also sculpted Dash For Cash, cattleman Charles Goodnight, Comanche Indian Chief Quannah Parker, and many other depictions of legendary people and horses.
Levi Hill (26 February 1816 − 9 February 1865) was an American minister in upstate New York who claimed in 1851 that he had invented a color photographic process.
 Borrowing terms previously introduced in France, Hill called his process "heliochromy" and the photographs that it produced "heliochromes", but by analogy to the naming of the then-current daguerreotype process after its inventor Louis Daguerre, Hill's color photographs were soon being called "Hillotypes".
 Hill's work was met with skepticism during his lifetime, then for more than a hundred years after his death histories of photography routinely dismissed it as a complete fraud.
 Later researchers found that his very difficult process did in fact have a limited ability to reproduce the colors of nature.
Rainey Memorial Gates is a historic entrance gate located at the north side of the New York Zoological Park in The Bronx, New York, New York.
 It was built in 1934 and constructed of sculpted bronze in the Art Deco style.
 It was designed by noted sculptor Paul Manship (1885–1966), who worked on them starting in 1926.
 It stands as a memorial to noted big game hunter Paul James Rainey (1877–1923).
 The gates feature stylized animal and plant life including the figure of a seated lion.
 Low bronze screens flank the gate and connect it to the granite gatekeepers lodges.
 The gates are topped by 26 ton slabs of granite.
Forman Park, in Syracuse, New York, was first established on June 16, 1839 and was known as Forman Square.
 The main attraction is a bronze memorial of early civic leaders, Joshua Forman and Lewis H. Redfield.
Antonio Salemme (November 2, 1892 − May 2, 1995), Italian-born American sculptor and painter, is best known for his sculpted portraits (including; John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Albert Einstein, Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters) and classical nudes.
 After studying in Boston and Rome before World War I, and serving in the Italian army during that conflict, Salemme settled in New York and became a prominent figure in the Greenwich Village cultural scene of the 1920s and 30s.
 Three of his sculpted portraits (of Robeson, Waters, and Arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson) are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
 His Kennedy portrait is at the John F. Kennedy Library.
 Salemme's life-size nude of Paul Robeson entitled "Negro Spiritual" (1926) was exhibited to acclaim in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Paris, and became a "cause celebré" when it was banned from an exhibition in Philadelphia in 1930.
 Salemme was the recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships (1932 and 1936).
 In the 1940s he became increasingly interested in painting, which he had studied as a teen-ager.
 Salemme's Annual summer visits to Rockport, Massachusetts, resulted in numerous post-Impressionist-inspired sea- and landscapes.
 After a 43-year career in New York, Salemme and his wife Martha moved to rural eastern Pennsylvania in 1962.
 Working from memory and imagination, and inspired by Hindu philosophy and his devoted practice of Zen Buddhist meditation, Salemme continued to evolve artistically over the next 30 years, painting and sculpting prolifically almost until his death at age 102.
 In 2013 an Italian historical society published a selection of Salemme's letters and photographs from his military service in World War I.
 The artist's work was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Sigal Museum in Easton, Pennsylvania in 2014.
