Art/Nature.6

The remarkable work of art shown in this post is called “Jarden d’Email,” or “Enamel Garden” in English. It’s a 1974 creation by Jean Dubuffet, who clearly created it entirely as a site-specific work. Calling it a sculpture feels weak, because it feels like so much more. Even with all my wonderful experiences dating back the 1980s at Storm King, this particular, truly wonderful creation really took my imagination to new places. I visited it each of the three days on which I entered the museum & park.
