Ideogram was astainless steel sculpture inNew York City by American sculptorJames Rosati, completed in 1972. The work consisted of a number of intersecting beams with reflective surfaces.

Located on theAustin J. Tobin Plaza,^[2] in front of theMarriott World Trade Center, the work was lost in theSeptember 11 attacks. Though the sculpture may have survived the attacks and collapse of the buildings, its steel material was indistinguishable from the Ground Zero rubble. As a result, the sculpture was never recovered, and its remains were removed from Ground Zero along with the rest of the rubble.^[3]

According to Saul Wenegrat, former director of the art program for thePort Authority, the sculpture may have been the most photographed piece of art in the World Trade Center Complex. It was also featured in many fashion advertisements.^[2]
