Lincoln Center is currently exhibiting 14 large-scale abstract sculptures by visual artist Aaron Curry. "It could be an orgy, a dance, a play—I'm going to leave it up to the viewer," Aaron Curry said of installation. Called "Melt to Earth," this collection of 14 of Mr. Curry's abstract sculptures—some as high as 19 feet and as heavy as 1.2 tons—are on display at Lincoln Center's Josie Robertson Plaza until the end of January.

Three years after it opened, Lincoln Center's Illumination Lawn has become a visually interesting place for people to relax during warmer months. Designed by architects DILLER SCOFIDIO & RENFRO, the lawn is a grass roof sitting atop a two-story building with a restaurant and two film screening rooms. The tilting lawn roof is made of a mixture of 90% tall fescue grass and 10% Kentucky bluegrass.
