Isa Genzken: Rose II (2007) October 9, 2011

Standing twenty-eight feet tall, acclaimed German artist Isa Genzken's 'Rose II' (2007) is the second sculpture to be presented as part of the New Museum's ongoing Facade Sculpture Program since the building's completion in December 2007. This is Isa Genzken's first public artwork in the United States. A crucial figure in Post-war contemporary art, Genzken is a sculptor whose work re-imagines architecture, assemblage, and installation, giving form to new plastic environments and precarious structures.
