Siah Armajani’s ‘Bridge Over Tree’ opens in Brooklyn Bridge Park
Historical restaging coincides with Met Breuer exhibit
A tree grows in Brooklyn, and so too does a bridge.
Iranian artist Siah Armajani’s “Bridge Over Tree” is now on view at Brooklyn Bridge Park, marking the first time the installation has been staged since 1970.
The piece, commissioned by the Public Art Fund, coincides with the artist’s first major U.S. retrospective, opening at the Met Breuer on Wednesday and running through June 2. The sculpture is the sole outdoor component of the museum’s exhibition and will be on display through Sept. 29.
