Kendall (PepsiCo) Sculpture Gardens

Visiting New York City to celebrate my daughter's birthday with her, for my birthday (the same date as hers) she gave me a visit to the Kendall Sculpture Gardens at the PepsiCo headquarters in Purchase, New York. I have wanted to visit the sculpture gardens for decades. It is one of the world's best landscape exhibitions of twentieth century sculpture. I had often read about it. Many of my favorite sculptors are represented in the gardens. I was thrilled. I was also surprised to discover the great English sculptor, David Wynne, represented by several of his greatest works, and by several commissions of animal forms of which I was previously unaware.

The photo album, Kendall Sculpture Gardens (see right sidebar), contains 117 photographs I took of objects in the gardens on October 29. I photographed the objects in their landscape setting, as well as closeups of the entire works and details. The weather was overcast, breaking to partial cloudiness by mid-afternoon. The cloud cover explains the uniform white sky background in the photographs. I photographed all 45 objects by all forty (or so) artists in the gardens, with one exception. The work, Caryatids, by Judith Brown, was removed from exhibition (no explanation).

The full size photographs are 600 pixels wide (or tall) and provide excellent detail. Here are some sample images. (Click image to get full photo in a separate popup.)
