This week, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, in conjunction with the Downtown DC Business Improvement District and the DC Office of Planning, debuts the third installment of the New York Avenue Sculpture Project, featuring five sculptures by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-). Works include Walking Figures (group of 10) (2001); The Second Never Seen Figure on Beam with Wheels (2009); and Stainless Bird on Pole (2009). Here are some press images.

Up now until Sept. 27, 2015 on New York Avenue, NW between 12th and 13th NW.

And while you are visiting the project, you might as well stop into NMWA to view the video work, Soda Jerk: After the Rainbow (2009). Part of the 5x5 Project. Free, until Nov. 2, 2014.

And in case anyone is interested, there will be a talk with Mary Jane Jacob, a leading scholar on Abakanowicz on September 30, 2014 at noon at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Free!)

Thank you, Tweaked, for pointing out (yet again) that world-class art is right under our noses here in DC and can be absolutely free.

I look forward to making a special trip just to see these, thanks to you.
