文化娱乐:赫希洪雕塑花园10月31日改造后重开,60件作品增五成,奈良美智三件新作同日亮相西草坪

位于美国华盛顿特区国家广场旁的史密森尼赫希洪博物馆雕塑花园将于10月31日完成四年改造后重新对公众开放:据博物馆发布的资料,改造后的花园占地1.3英亩,陈列作品增至60件,较此前增加五成,并新植近3万株植物;开放日当天上午10时至下午4时将举行免费开放庆典,日本艺术家奈良美智的三件新雕塑同日在西草坪展出。
改造由建筑师兼艺术家 Hiroshi Sugimoto 主持设计,方案尊重原设计师 Gordon Bunshaft 的构想:以950吨手工干砌石墙划分展区,恢复长期封闭的地下通道,把花园与博物馆广场重新连为一体,并增设至五个出入口,其中国家广场一侧设有更宽的主入口与南北无障碍坡道。东花园陈列罗丹、马蒂斯与亨利摩尔等现代主义铜像,以及近年新入藏的当代作品。
馆长 Melissa Chiu 表示,这次改造是赫希洪自1974年开馆以来对园区最重要的一次重新思考。开幕展陈的60件作品中,39件来自创馆捐赠人 Joseph H. Hirshhorn 的个人收藏,其中21件为1974年开馆时的原陈列作品;西草坪首展《奈良美智:静谧的守望者》展出艺术家2025年创作的三件大型雕塑,展期至2027年11月7日。赫希洪博物馆免费开放。
Culture: Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden Reopens October 31 With 60 Artworks, Nara's Three New Sculptures Debut on West Lawn
The Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum Sculpture Garden, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., will reopen to the public on October 31 after a four-year revitalization: according to the museum, the 1.3-acre garden will display 60 artworks, a 50 percent increase over its previous installation, within a landscape of nearly 30,000 newly planted trees and plants, and a free opening celebration will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, with three new sculptures by Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara debuting on the West Lawn.
The redesign is by architect and artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, working with respect for Gordon Bunshaft's original design: dry-stacked stone walls hand-cut from 950 tons of stone define the gallery areas, the long-closed underground passageway is restored to reconnect the garden with the museum plaza, and access expands to five entry points, including a wider entrance on the National Mall side and ramps from the north and south. The East Garden presents modernist bronzes by Rodin, Matisse and Henry Moore alongside recent contemporary acquisitions.
Director Melissa Chiu said the revitalization is the most significant rethinking of the campus since the Hirshhorn opened in 1974. Of the 60 works in the reopening installation, 39 come from founding donor Joseph H. Hirshhorn's personal collection, including 21 installed at the garden's 1974 opening. The inaugural West Lawn exhibition, Yoshitomo Nara: Sentinels of Stillness, presents three large sculptures created in 2025 and runs through November 7, 2027. Admission to the Hirshhorn is free.
