Aaron Curry's 'Melt to Earth' Sculptures on Display in the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center

Lincoln Center is currently exhibiting 14 large-scale abstract sculptures by visual artist Aaron Curry. "It could be an orgy, a dance, a play—I'm going to leave it up to the viewer," Aaron Curry said of installation. Called "Melt to Earth," this collection of 14 of Mr. Curry's abstract sculptures—some as high as 19 feet and as heavy as 1.2 tons—are on display at Lincoln Center's Josie Robertson Plaza until the end of January.

Welcome To Josie Robertson Plaza And The Metropolitan Opera House

This is the Josie Robertson Plaza, the gateway to Lincoln Center. It is centered on the Revson Fountain and is located between Avery Fisher Hall, the David Koch Theater, and the Metropolitan Opera House. The home of Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing and Out of Doors festivals, the Plaza becomes an alfresco musical paradise in the summertime. It is located in Manhattan's Upper West Side at Columbus Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets.

Lincoln Center's Grand Stair And The Josie Robertson Plaza

The Josie Robertson Plaza is the center of the Lincoln Center campus at Columbus Avenue between 62nd and 65th Streets. The primary entryway to Lincoln Center features the visually elegant and dramatic 170-foot-wide Grand Stair directly from Columbus Avenue onto the Josie Robertson Plaza. The seven stairs, each tread five feet deep, display informational LED text, such as welcome in different languages as part of Lincoln Center’s innovative 16-channel InfoScape. At the center of the plaza is the Revson Fountain, named after cosmetics excutive Chalres Revson, and designed by Philip Johnson with Richard Foster, is internally illuminated by 88 lamps emitting 26,000 watts of light and contains a complex of 577 jets that could spew forth 9,000 gallons of water per minute in a wide range of patterns--its most spectacular effect was the emission of a thirty-foot-high, six-foot-wide column of water. The entire presentation is electronically orchestrated by computer-programmed tapes played in a control booth beneath the plaza.
