Currently on display on Governors Island are 11 sculptures by Chinese-born American sculptor Mark di Suvero (born 1933). The exhibition is the largest outdoor presentation of Mark di Suvero’s sculptures to be shown in New York City since the 1970s.  The exhibit features loans from public and private collections, including a number of sculptures from Storm King Art Center’s own celebrated installation of the artist’s work. The exhibition, which features 11 di Suvero sculptures, is free and located throughout the island’s vibrant public spaces. Mark di Suvero’s work is architecturally scaled, imposing a physical and historical reference to industry. The pieces are composed of industrial cast-offs, such as I-beams that have been painted, giving them an artificial quality. Presented by Storm King Art Center is the site’s most high-profile art show to date. The display is also di Suvero's biggest New York survey since 1975. It runs through September 25, 2011
