“When you’re interrupted by a sculpture in the middle of a landscape, it’s not really the sculpture you notice but the landscape itself.”
BONUS // Guest Episode from The Lonely Palette
“Fallen Sky,” a work of installation art by Sarah Sze, is like a moon map etched into a hillside. On display at New York’s Storm King Art Center, its stainless-steel pillars are created to look like stone and mirror, ancient ruins that reflect the ever-changing sky.
On this episode, Tamar Avishai explores how Sze’s striking sculpture helps visitors pay attention to the world around us — and the world inside our head.
This is a special guest episode from The Lonely Palette, a podcast that returns art history to the masses, one object at a time.
