Clue: This (nationality = 5 letters) artist (name = 2 words: 4, 8) has an instantly recognizable style.
He called his own style (13 letters).
Perhaps surprising is that his paintings have been used in conjunction with this very common video arcade game (6 letters).
2nd letter of 1st name of artist = "i"

Yes, I did notice the sculpture at Rockefeller but didn't bother finding out who did it.
The artist and I actually have a (very, very, very, very) remote connection that I won't get into.

I guess I was on the right track.
It must be Tivoli Gardens, founded by Georg Carstensen.
But I'm not sure about the other two yet.
Initially I thought that Tivoli Gardens was the one that celebrated the 90th birthday (but then I reread the clue and Tivoli fits).

It is one of the attractions inside the Tivoli Gardens. Not the merry-go-round, but rather, the roller-coaster "Rutschebanen".

Sorry, I got too carried away:
In fact, the (thing, 2 words = 8, 6) is also a (7 letters) (the same 7 letters).
(It's of course also a 5 letters, but I'm looking for the slightly more technical term 7 letters.)

I'm leaving work soon and probably won't get a chance to look at this thread for a couple of days as it's the long weekend.
To keep this moving, these two people are both pianists. Should be more obvious now.

Everything does not seem to fit in, and my answer might even be completely off!
The first pianist was Arthur [Artek] Rubenstein.
The second Pianist is Krystian Zimerman
Both are Polish.
Rubenstein was known for his interpretation of Chopin.
Zimerman is also connected to the composer because he 'won the Chopin competition' in 1975.
Rubenstein showed affinity for pianina [??] which was a type of piano in his country. As for 8,6 which is a type of piano, I have no idea whatsoever!!
If my answer is mostly correct, and if its my turn next, I would like to pass...I'm going to be off the net for the next 3 or 4 dys.

Hey, close enough.
Artur/Arthur (the pianist tends to sign Arthur).
He's famous for all Chopin, of course, but especially for the mazurkas. A mazurka is a Polish dance, and the Polish national anthem is also a mazurka.
By the way, Rubinstein made at least three complete recordings of Chopin's mazurkas (there're 51 total, if I remember right). The earliest one was made in the 1930s (I like this one the most).
Someone else can take a turn.

I'll post a clue to try to get this going again.
Clue: Country 1 (7 letters)
This country was founded by a group of settlers from Country 2 (6 letters). The two countries share the interesting feature that they do not belong to the (organization: 8, 5).
Country 1 also holds the disinction of having the world's first (organization: 10 letters) called 7 letters.
3rd letter of Country 2 = "r" from Rubinstein.
