In 2027, the New York Botanical Garden will host an exhibition featuring KAWS, a Brooklyn-based artist known for his pop culture sculptures, including unique installations throughout its 250 acres. The collaboration aims to create a dialogue between contemporary art and nature, enhancing the emotional impact of KAWS's figures against the garden's scenery. Previous exhibitions by artists like Yayoi Kusama have set a precedent for this integration of art and environment. Additional exhibitions planned for 2026 include Flower Power, celebrating the '60s, and other traditional events at the garden.
KAWS will present an outdoor installation at NYBG from May 22, 2027, turning the 250-acre space into a blend of nature and contemporary art.
The melancholy figures of KAWS's work will resonate strongly against the natural beauty of the Bronx gardens, enhancing the impact of his sculptures.
NYBG has established a tradition of engaging artists to interact with its landscape, including previous exhibitions by Yayoi Kusama and Ebony G. Patterson.
Upcoming exhibits at NYBG include Flower Power in 2026, focused on '60s flowers as symbols of peace, and annual traditions like the Holiday Train Show.
