A dynamic 16-foot sculpture by the renowned American artist Joel Shapiro now stands in the lobby of the Leon and Norma Hess Center for Science and Medicine on the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai campus.
Installed in June, the expressive, brightly colored sculpture in painted aluminum was a gift from Mount Sinai Trustee Arne Glimcher, who commissioned it for the Hess Center.
Mr. Shapiro’s sculptures and paintings are on display in collections belonging to prestigious museums in the United States and throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; the Tate Gallery in London; the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris; and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
