Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom


Roxy Paine currently is my favorite large scale sculptor of today. I love his metal trees! This installation is different from the one he exhibited at Madison Square Garden. At the Met, one can walk through the chrome vines following various paths. It's impressive when absorbed by the shiny threads of steel. I also admire the line mess of shadows the sculpture creates. I give The Met credit for putting on a great show each summer on their Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Check out the installation videos here.
