It looks like I'm really not the only one desperate for springtime/warm weather in New York!
From January 25 through May 31, 2011 colossal blossoms are set to bloom on the Park Avenue Mall between 57th and 67th Streets (
map). "The Roses" is Will Ryman's inaugural public art exhibition and it is sponsored by Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York City's Department of Parks & Recreation, as well as the Fund for the Park Avenue Sculpture Committee.
The rose blossom sculptures will range from three to 25 feet high and five to ten feet in diameter, dwarfing their NYC surroundings. There will also be 20 complimentary scattered rose petals, along with brass ladybugs, aphids, beetles and bees.
Want to be the next person to create a temporary sculpture for the Park Avenue Malls? Here are the
guidelines for submitting your proposal.
