Diller Scofidio + Renfro's High Line and Maya Lin at PaceWildenstein
Opened in the summer of 2009, the High Line is an elevated park that stretches along the Hudson River from Gansevoort to 20th Street, created by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. This park features a mix of open and shaded spaces, with concrete pathways, wild grasses, benches, and scenic views of New Jersey. It acts as a health promenade and includes a glass amphitheater located at 10th Avenue Square. Curated by Lauren Ross, temporary art installations showcase works such as Nils Folke Anderson's sculptures and Spencer Finch's The River Runs Both Ways, which references the Native American name for the Hudson River, set to be removed in February 2010. Additionally, Maya Lin's Three Ways of Looking at the Earth, made from recycled materials, was displayed at PaceWildenstein from September 18 to October 24, 2009.
