The Museum of Modern Art’s Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Sculpture Garden will be open free of charge to the general
public daily, from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m., allowing New Yorkers and visitors
alike to start their day in one of the city’s most beloved outdoor
spaces. The public can enter the Sculpture Garden directly through the
west gate on West 54 Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. Coffee and
beverages will be available for purchase. The new installation in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden is The Modern Monument, which brings together diverse works organized around the theme of the modern monument. Included are Barnett Newman’s Broken Obelisk
(1967), which does not commemorate a specific event but, rather, serves
as a symbolic monument for all people; and Pablo Picasso’s Monument
(1972), a memorial for the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who died
of influenza at the end of World War I. These two works are joined by
German artist Katharina Fritsch’s Figurengruppe/Group of Figures
(2006–08), which comprises nine boldly colored, life-size figures, among
them St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake. Favorites like
Picasso’s She-Goat (1950) and Joan Miró’s Moonbird (1966)
are shown alongside works by Alberto Giacometti, Henri Matisse, Mark di
Suvero, Tony Smith, and others. Also on view, in conjunction with the
recent exhibition Claes Oldenburg: The Street and The Store, is Oldenburg’s Geometric Mouse, Scale A
(1975), a large painted aluminum and steel sculpture of a mouse, whose
form the artist based on both Mickey Mouse and a film camera. The early morning hours in the Sculpture Garden will be in effect
year-round, weather permitting. The Museum galleries open to the public
daily at 10:30 a.m.  by The Museum of Modern Art
