CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Helfand Spotlight Series
Public Art + Architecture New York

April 17 — May 9, 2009

The images in this exhibit, taken by photographer Francis Dzikowski for the book Public Art New York, represent the wide variety of works of public art in the five boroughs of New York City. Illustrating that public art consists not only of monumental sculpture in outdoor plazas but also decorative sidewalks, sculpted facades, and evocative lighting, Public Art New York broadens the dialogue on how art can complement and enrich architecture and public space. From the Coney Island’s Parachute Jump, to Dubuffet’s Groupe des Quatre Arbres in Chase Manhattan Plaza, to James Carpenter’s “Ice Falls” in the lobby of the Hearst Building, these photos reveal the magnificent range and richness of the works that enliven New York’s urban landscape and are accessible for all to enjoy. As Kent L. Barwick noted in his introduction to the book, “these striking photographs of both the new and what we thought familiar remind us of the ever-changing and compelling landscape we are so lucky to inhabit and so rarely take the time to see.”

Public Art New York by Jean Parker Phifer FAIA was published by W.W. Norton in March 2009. Francis Dzikowski is represented by Esto.

Public Art + Architecture New York is presented as part of the Helfand Spotlight Series.
The series highlights competitions, projects under construction, and projects recently completed that will have a far-reaching impact on New York City’s built environment. Projects are exhibited as a means of generating public interest as well as presenting in-depth information to the Center’s professional audience.

This spotlight will be on view through May 9, 2009.
