Description
The Met's seasonal rooftop installation, The Theater of Disappearance by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, comprises 16 sculptures that combine human figures with replicas of objects from the museum's collection. The sculptures, made with 3-D scanning and other advanced imaging techniques, include a statue of King Haremhab from Egypt's New Kingdom and Daniel Chester French’s Mourning Victory.
In addition to the black, white and gray tiled floor on which his pieces sit, the artist worked with museum staff to redesign the pergola, landscaping and seating areas as well as the bar's menu to fully unite the roof garden's many uses.
