Two abstract figures are situated in the center of a reflecting pool fountain at Lincoln Center. Both are green, which would suggest they are made of bronze that has oxidized. It's located in front of the opera house and was created in the early 60s by Henry Moore. Taken from Wikipedia, "eclining Figure (Lincoln Center) 1963–5 (LH 519) is a statue by Henry Moore. The two-part bronze statue of a human figure was commissioned for the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, where it has been displayed outdoors since 1965 in a pool of water to the north of the new Metropolitan Opera House."
