Hudson Yards unveils new contemporary art
JANUARY 24, 2019

According to a press release from developer Related, the complex has unveiled large-scale contemporary art installations by three renowned artists–Jaume Plensa,
Frank Stella, and Joel Shapiro. “I have always been passionate about the impact art, sculpture and design can have on our lives – the memorable experiences they create
and the warmth they bring to the places we live and visit,” said Related chairman Stephen Ross.
Frank Stella, perhaps best known among the group, started his career in the ’50s primarily as a painter, but beginning in the ’90s, he got into large-scale sculptures
for public spaces and architectural developments. His latest endeavor is two “abstract structural sculptures” in the lobby of 50 Hudson Yards, the Norman Foster-designed
tower that has the title of the city’s most expensive office building.
Here, he used digital modeling to “explore how subtle changes in scale, texture, color, and material can affect our experience of an object.” These unnamed works
are made of painted steel, aluminum, and fiberglass.
