The Norton’s new public art park may feature piece by iconic sculptor
The Norton Museum of Art is in negotiations to acquire a monumental sculpture by the late Richard Serra to serve as the centerpiece of a new public art park in West Palm Beach. The proposed Norton Cultural Park would transform a two-acre waterfront site into a series of 14 landscaped "garden rooms" featuring world-class artworks. City commissioners have granted preliminary approval for a lease agreement that allows the museum to manage the land, which was formerly a pioneer cemetery.
