| Right: Vortex, 2002, a newly acquired sculpture
by Richard Serra, greets visitors to the Modern on an extended walkway in
front of the museum. The vertical sculpture, which is 67 feet tall and weighs
nearly 230 tons, is a pronounced counterpoint to the very vertical architecture
of the new building, actually towering 27 feet above the museum's rooftop.
Viewers can walk into the piece through entry points between the curving
steel plates and look up at the sky through a 10-foot aperture. The sculpture's
seven steel plates, the largest that can be manufactured, were produced
in Hamburg, Germany. |
