The previously vacant corner of 21st and Q Streets was transformed early this morning when artist Will Ryman installed 58th Street, one of the colossal rose sculptures from his series The Roses displayed along New York’s Park Avenue earlier this year.
Will Ryman’s Roses: 58th Street is on view through January 5, 2012, welcoming visitors at the museum’s corner for the rest of the Phillips’s 90th anniversary year.

I love this sculpture. It doesn’t require you to focus on “it” but gives you permission to just relax and appreciate. It’s perfect for the dog days of summer when moving through the heat is all one can hope to accomplish at times.
