We’re only halfway through 2025, but the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is already looking ahead. Way ahead.

For a modern garden with depth and dimensionality in its design, a sculpture can be a helpful tool. They can act as a visual guide, helping you set the overarching feel of your outdoor area.

Following on from success staging the work of Yayoi Kusama, NYBG is inviting KAWS to transform the Bronx botanical garden.
