MOMA Garden. Installation view of the exhibition Sculpture in Color (May 18, 2009–January 11, 2010), featuring three 2006 polyester sculptures by Franz West—Maya's Dream. This summer's installation in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden celebrates the bold use of color in modern and contemporary sculpture. Highlights include Ellsworth Kelly's painted-aluminum Green Blue (1968), Anthony Caro's yellow-painted-steel sculpture Midday (1960), and, on view at MoMA for the first time, three 2006 polyester sculptures by Franz West—Maya’s Dream, Lotus, and Untitled (Orange). West's pieces provide a striking example of his interactive practice; the public is encouraged to touch and sit on the chair-like sculptures. In addition to these vivid additions to the Sculpture Garden, many popular hallmarks remain on view, including Hector Guimard's Entrance Gate to Paris Subway (Métropolitain) Station (c. 1900) and works by Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Pablo Picasso.
