The High Line is footing its own Viagra Falls.
A very phallic, very pink foot sculpture fountain has aroused curiosity and disgust alike as it suggestively sprays water on passersby at the famous Manhattan elevated park.
“I like that you can turn the water on — but ehh, I won’t be posing in front of it. Nope.” said Brooklynite visitor Danny L., 40.
The 10-foot tall sculpture titled “Foot Fountain (pink)” by Argentine-born artist Mika Rottenberg was erected in April along the High Line near 30th Street.
The public art installation shaped like a pink foot and, um, leg — which is dotted with lurid red-lipped mouths sticking out tongues — quickly drew hard looks from dirty-minded New Yorkers and tourists.
“So just so we’re clear— nobody saw a foot,” one Instagram commenter insinuated.
Another commenter got explicit: “I clearly saw a pink penis.”
Beyond the sculpture’s titillating silhouette, there’s also how passersby can lend it a hand.
The artwork has a cycle across the path that encourages High Line pedestrians to pedal, using their foot power to activate a fountain at the top of its shaft — a feature that could get unsuspecting viewers wet if prematurely activated.
Sanjeet Singh, a 46-year-old tourist from India, called the sculpture “odd.”
“Interesting, but I promise you, you will only see these kinds of things in America,” Singh said.
“In my country, this would be consider too much,” though Singh appreciatively added, “It is funny-looking though.”
Several Instagram users opined the scabrous sculpture perhaps inadvertently made a firm case for raising awareness of sexually transmitted infections, with one calling it “herpetic.”
Danny R., 29, who was visiting from San Francisco, called the sculpture “uncomfortable,” even though she was a fan overall.
“It gives some kind of itchy because of the holes and stuff coming out of it,” she said.
“It’s disturbing. But it’s cool, really cool.”
Others on the High Line viewed it more innocently.
Upper West Side mom Angie R., 35, was delighted to come across the “funky” artwork while walking with her three kids Monday.
“The kids love it because it’s really just a tall sprinkler,” she said. “So they can run around it while one of them is using the bike.”
Italian tourist Katie Sareno, 27, also praised it for being fun and kid-friendly.
“Fun for kids, but you know the adults will see the real art,” she said.
“Kudos to the artist.”
Rottenberg didn’t return a request for comment.
“Foot Fountain (pink)” will be on display until May 2026.
