Orly Genger’s Red, Yellow, Blue is the artist’s largest project to date. The work is composed of more than a million feet of crocheted lobster fishing rope and divided into three snake-like mounds of red, yellow and blue. Set within Madison Square Park, the piece has an overall melodic and light quality that runs counter to the industrial material used, and to the broader urban setting.
Orly Genger’s Red, Yellow, Blue is on view at Madison Square Park in New York through Sept 8, 2013 after which it travels to the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum outside of Boston.
