Pablo Picasso's work at NYU

I was walking with my friend who lives in ABC city in the East Village one weekend. We decided to explore our options on which bus should we take in going to his place; he decided that we walk somewhere in Bleecker Street and in Noho. Without telling me about the idea, he thought I should see a real Pablo Picasso sculpture, and a huge piece at that, which is placed in one of the properties of the NYU, with its dormitory buildings standing close by (if I recall it right) the concrete art piece. As expected, it's really more of an abstract, than anything else. I thought its greyish-colored figure looks cool, where it's located. I'm not sure where exactly is the location of this sculpture now in Manhattan. I read from the metal inscription that it's been donated by some philanthropic individuals, whose names I fail to recall now. I heard from my friend that it's the only sculpture by Picasso that can be seen free in public. He's proud of sharing this fact, being descended from Spanish forbears himself. And Picasso never went to the US, but he's got a lot of followers, collectors, enthusiasts in this side of the Atlantic Ocean. Happy to have been brought to inspect this piece, I've not heard about this sculpture from other sources, actually, and I was doubting if it's really made by the artist, until I read the inscription. Picasso, being known more for his paintings, has several outstanding and pioneering abstract pieces of his artworks found in the MOMA, which I've seen and admired when I first got to see them in real, and that time, not only in photos found in some well-annotated, glossy pages of an expensive looking, coffee table art book.
