AGNES DENES : ‘The woman was Agnes Denes, the artist who created one of the most significant artworks in New York City history, “Wheatfield — A Confrontation,” a two-acre wheat field that was planted in May 1982 on the landfill that would eventually become Battery Park City, was harvested that August and then disappeared forever from the site. Denes, too, would largely vanish from the city’s consciousness until 2015, when her work “The Living Pyramid,” a grassy ziggurat, popped up at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens. She remained busy elsewhere, building a mountain from scratch in Finland and planting 11,000 trees on it, foresting an Australian waste treatment site. She has had exhibitions all over the world and shows at museums at Cornell University and in Santa Monica. Her show at the Shed in 2019 will be her first solo exhibition at a major New York institution.’ New York Times
