10 Amazing Outdoor Art Installations By: Grace Bonney

For the past few weeks (and through the end of this week), New York has been filled with incredible trade shows, off-site shows, gallery openings and pop-ups. From Sunset Park in Brooklyn to the Bronx, it feels like every space is opening up with something incredible to see. As I head out today to dive into ICFF and Surtex, I kept thinking about how much I’d love to see more outdoor art woven into the schedule of this month’s shows. New York can be tough with permit requirements for public art, but there are so many great community gardens and spaces that would be perfect for something installed outdoors. So to kick off today, I rounded up some of my favorite outdoor art installations for the past few years. Projects like this, especially when they’re site-specific, always make me happy because they get a chance to be seen by thousands of people, almost by accident. Some of them use relatively humble materials (like the Post-It installation at Gallerie Melissa) and others involve dramatic glass and steel structures- either way, they’re wonderful to take in and I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that I see something that reminds me of these in today’s trade shows. xo, grace
