"In 1977, Max Neuhaus turned a triangle of pedestrian space between 45th and 46th Streets in Times Square into an island of harmonic sound. The rich textures of that sound continue today, emanating from beneath the sidewalk grating, to anonymously reach an individual's ears as if one has stumbled upon a secret. Known as "Times Square," the celebrated installation was restored in 2002 with support from Dia Art Foundation, which further co ..."
"With a magician’s sleight of hand, Nauman’s art makes disappearance visibleAt 76 years old, Bruce Nauman is widely acknowledged as a central figure in contemporary art whose stringent questioning of values such as good and bad remains urgent today.

"In 1959, Swiss artist and writer Daniel Spoerri pioneered an inventive new series of artist-created editioned multiples to be broadly distributed.
