Rockefeller Center in New York has installed a new public sculpture, 'Vertical Highways V03 (2025)', by German Iranian artist Bettina Pousttchi. The work, composed of bent and battered red guardrails arranged in a tangle, will be on view in the Channel Gardens through April 17th.
The installation continues Pousttchi's practice of transforming industrial materials and urban detritus into sculptural forms, prompting reflection on infrastructure, consumption, and the aesthetics of the everyday. Its prominent placement at a major New York landmark ensures high visibility and public engagement with contemporary art outside traditional gallery settings.
