Peter Coffin: Untitled (Sculpture Silhouettes)
Populating City Hall Park with 13 monumental silhouettes of iconic works of art, Peter Coffin's Untitled (Sculpture Silhouettes) takes the viewer on a journey through the history of sculpture. This idiosyncratic sculptural survey creates an environment in which variations on seminal sculptures are experienced in a new and unexpected context. In transforming famous works of art into flattened silhouettes, Coffin invites us to reflect and expand upon the associations evoked by each form. To hear an artist’s commentary, please call 311.
Time: Open daily
Access: Free to the public
Location: City Hall Park, Lower Manhattan
