HIGH LINE COMMISSIONS are temporary, site-specific artworks that provide a unique experience and introduce innovative works by contemporary artists to a broad audience.

Carol Bove, Caterpillar
May 2013–May 2014
A series of large-scale sculptures punctuate the wild, untouched landscape of the High Line at the Rail Yards. By advance reservation only.

April 2013–April 2014
A group of figurative sculptures plays with the tradition of urban monuments and civic busts. For Vox Populi, the public is invited to vote online for a person to be commemorated in a monument installed alongside the exhibition’s sculptures.

Ryan McGinley, Blue Falling
April 1–30
A dreamlike image of a figure floating in a vast blue background, evoking the levity of a body becoming liquid.

Guido van der Werve, Nummer negen, the day I didn’t turn with the world

Oscar Muñoz, Re/trato
April 15–May 15
HIGH LINE CHANNEL 22, daily beginning at 8pm
The artist continuously paints a self-portrait on a concrete sidewalk by using a brush and water, creating an endless evaporating drawing.

Superflex, Modern Times Forever
May 7–June 19
HIGH LINE CHANNEL 14, daily beginning at 7pm
A look at what would happen to a building if nature was allowed to take its course over thousands of years.

HIGH LINE ART PERFORMANCES is a series that transforms the park into an open-air theater with performances taking place on and around the High Line.

Mungo Thomson, Crickets
June 21
To mark the summer solstice, a chamber orchestra of violins, flutes, and percussion mimic the sounds of crickets.

Presented by Friends of the High Line, High Line Art commissions and produces public art projects on and around the High Line. Founded in 2009, High Line Art presents a wide array of artwork including site-specific commissions, exhibitions, performances, video programs, and a series of billboard interventions. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Curator & Director of High Line Art, and produced by Friends of the High Line, High Line Art invites artists to think of creative ways to engage with the uniqueness of the architecture, history, and design of the High Line and to foster a productive dialogue with the surrounding neighborhood and urban landscape.
