Don Porcaro's 'Talisman' and 'Nomads' sculptures installed at Hudson Boulevard Park through October 2018
Don Porcaro's unique 'Talisman' sculptures are now on display at Hudson Boulevard Park, featuring playful cylindrical forms made of bronze, marble, and brass. You can find these sculptures greeting visitors at the park entrance on 34th Street, sandwiched between 10th and 11th avenues. Additionally, there are 50 'Nomads' sculptures placed on a landscaped islet among three fountains, representing the community's mixed emotions about local development. This exhibition runs until October 13, 2018, in Hell's Kitchen, an area known for its rich artistic history before Hudson Yards took shape. The park, located between West 33rd and West 36th Streets, is overseen by the Hudson Yards / Hell's Kitchen Alliance in collaboration with NYC Parks & Recreation. David Cohen has written about how these sculptures interact with the urban landscape and their cultural importance in the area.
