Towering above the landscape of the Museum’s Anne d’Harnoncourt Sculpture Garden is a large-scale sculpture in three parts conceived by acclaimed Austrian artist Franz West (Austrian, 1947-2012). Whimsical in color, abstract in shape, and monumental in size, Lips speaks to the radical impulse and joyful playfulness that characterizes West’s oeuvre. Emerging from the Garden ground in a contoured arrangement of animated shapes, this trio of biomorphic structures transposes a vibrant palette of green, blue, and pink onto the surrounding urban skyline.
