  • De Pulitzer Fountain (ook Pulitzer Memorial Fountain) is een uit 1916 stammende fontein op het Grand Army Plaza in de Amerikaanse stad New York. De fontein heeft een hoogte van bijna zeven meter en is ontworpen door en . De fontein bestaat uit graniet. Boven op de Pulitzer Fountain staat een bronzen beeld van Pomona, de Romeinse godin van boomvruchten, die een mand met fruit vasthoudt. Zij symboliseert de overvloed waarmee New York in sprongen in die tijd vooruitging. Toen Karl Bitter bezig was met het maken van het beeld overleed hij bij een auto-ongeluk. Het beeld werd afgemaakt door zijn assistent Karl Gruppe en daarnaast door Isidore Konti. Andere ornamenten van de Pulitzer Fountain zijn gemaakt door Orazio Piccirilli. (nl)
