2014 33c Statue and Satellite

2014 U.N. Definitive – 33¢ Secretariat
New York Office

The 2014 U.N. definitive stamps, designed by Sergio Baradat, capture the abstract architectural details of some of the main U.N. office buildings and various icons associated with the United Nations. 

The 33¢  New York issue portrays the Secretariat building in New York City.  Built in 1952, the Secretariat skyscraper towers 505 feet above the ground.  It houses the administrative functions of the U.N. including finance, translation and the delegates’ offices.  The stamp also pictures an image of a Greek statute replica presented by Greece to the U.N. in 1953.
