The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has acquired eight new sculptures by major contemporary artists for its renovated outdoor garden. The works by Mark Grotjahn, Raven Halfmoon, Lauren Halsey, Izumi Katō, Liz Larner, Woody De Othello, Chatchai Puipia, and Pedro Reyes will be installed ahead of the garden's reopening in October.
This acquisition signals a major refresh of the Smithsonian's prominent sculpture collection and highlights the museum's commitment to diversifying its holdings with works by a globally representative group of artists. The new installations, part of a redesign led by Hiroshi Sugimoto, will redefine the visitor experience at a key national institution when it reopens this fall.
