“Dag Hammarskjold Plaza is one of the most programmed places in the City for public art, showcasing artists from all over the world,” said NYC Parks Commissioner Veronica M. White. “Rogers’ work brings stunning bronze sculptures to this beautiful plaza in the heart of Midtown.”
The installation Individuals is composed of 15 bronze sculptures that are all unique, but similar in form and climb up to12 feet in height. Rogers made these sculptures specifically for Dag Hammarskjold Plaza using bronze, a material weighted in the history of art, but used in a light, contemporary manner for this show. The organic, pulsating and ribbed outer surfaces act as counterpoints to the delicate, highly polished interiors. Each sculpture is balanced on a tightly curled base that unfurls as it extends upwards and outward in a continuously undulating spiral movement, similar to that of a tornado or a blooming flower.
