Joel Shapiro on the Roof
May 1, 2001–November 18, 2001
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden
A selection of five large cast-bronze and painted cast-aluminum sculptures by the American artist Joel Shapiro (b. 1941) are installed in the Museum’s 10,000-square-foot open-air Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. The sculptures date from 1989 to the present, and three of the five have not previously been exhibited in New York. Two are new works. Shapiro works in the Constructivist tradition, yet some of the sculpture included in this selection is residually figurative.
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden offers a spectacular panoramic view of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Beverage and sandwich service will be available from 10:00 a.m. until closing, including Friday and Saturday evenings.
Accompanied by a brochure and related educational programs.
