Frieze, in partnership with Tishman Speyer, is launching Frieze Sculpture at Rockefeller Center, New York, to be held annually in conjunction with Frieze New York. Brett Littman, director of the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in Long Island City, New York, is curating the immersive presentation, including works by Walter De Maria and Sarah Sze.
Three of the fourteen sculptures from De Maria’s Truth / Beauty series (1990–2016), which expands upon the artist’s use of permutations of rods, polygons, and numerical sequences, will be shown indoors.
Sze’s Split Stone (7:34) (2018), a natural granite boulder divided like a geode into two halves, in each of which the artist has embedded the image of a generic sunset, captured on her iPhone, will be outdoors.

Public Art Fund Talks
Sarah Sze and Teju Cole
Thursday, April 25, 2024, 6:30–7:30pm
Cooper Union School of Art, New York

Sarah Sze will be in conversation with writer Teju Cole as part of Public Art Fund Talks, a series organized in collaboration with the Cooper Union to connect contemporary artists to a broad public. The pair will discuss Sze’s ambitious site-specific sculpture Shorter Than the Day (2020), permanently installed at LaGuardia Airport, New York. Commissioned in a partnership between Public Art Fund and LaGuardia Gateway Partners, Sze’s work evokes the passage of time through an intricate constellation of photographs of the sky above New York City taken over the course of one day. Sze and Cole will also explore how both of their respective artistic practices capture nonlinear experiences of time and the urban environment. The event is free to attend.
