| There is in the state of New York a magic place where
Haida totem poles stand tall and free, facing the afternoon
sun and bathed in summer breezes, while cottonwood tree
seeds float in the air like ceremonial down. In this
place, Three Variations on Killer Whale Myths are
displayed not in the dim light of some supposed mystic
past but
fully revealed as confident participants in the contemporary
world. This is the vast Sculpture Gardens at PepsiCo
World Headquarters in Purchase, New York, devoted to
the most famous sculptors of the modern era. Here, magnificently
displayed, are the sculptures by over 30 artists, including
Rodin, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, Garmenting, David
Smith, Claes Oldenburg, and guud san glans, Robert Davidson. |
