AMERICA saw meltdown in real time after two artists installed a 1,500lb ice sculpture that spelled the word "Economy" in Manhattan's financial district and left it to melt.

"To see the word 'economy' melting down is representational of an extreme time," Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese said.

The sculpture, which is 5ft tall, 15ft wide is the fourth in a series they have created.

Earlier this year they carved blocks into the word "Democracy" and allowed them to melt.
