In celebration of the improvements to Central Park, Art on the Green 2010 features the exhibition of sculptures including Dwellings in Red by Barbara Sorensen near Park and New England avenues and Trailer by Chris Scala near the Emily fountain.
Currently on permanent exhibition in Shady Park, Art on the Green 2008 features Molecular Dog/C3H8 by renowned sculptor Robert Chambers. This “dog” is actually a strategically configured sculpture of a propane molecule showcasing how Chambers integrates art and science. The artist chose this molecule to bring attention to the importance of ecology in today’s world.
A periodic exhibition of large scale outdoor sculptures, Art on the Green made its début in 2006 with an exhibition of sculptures in Central Park by world-class artists including works by Louise Nevelson, Vito Acconci, Tom Otterness and Red Grooms, among others.
