Weekday Sketchers at Rockefeller Center for Frieze Sculpture

Rockefeller Center is a cultural mecca that has recently been turned into an urban sculpture garden with the installation of 14 contemporary pieces by artists such as Joan Miro to Sarah Sze.  Curated by Bret Littman of the Noguchi Museum, in a joint venture with Frieze NY and Rockefeller Center, this temporary show offers us an opportunity to sketch the scepters in a truly urban setting with the unique new plantings installed that are all native to the NY area.  For more information click here: https://gothamtogo.com/frieze-new-york-2019-extends-to-rockefeller-center-with-16-art-installations/
