每年4月到10月，大都会博物馆都会在楼顶推出一个露天的个人展览，今年推出Roxy Paine on the Roof: Maelstrom，

记得曾经在一年的惠特尼双年展中央公园外展区看过Roxy Paine 的一棵不锈钢大树，那棵光秃秃的银色大树在冬日黑褐色的普通大树中有点特别。

慢慢欣赏，这些大树，是不是有点像中国书法的草书那样，纵横起伏？

不过，这些大树放到大都会的楼顶，的确是更加“艺术”了，倒没有放在公园当中，如同一颗真正的大树，置身于大自然之中，那样更加好看。

看画看累了，跑到楼顶花园呼吸新鲜空气，看看中央公园的高楼大厦天际线，还可以买一杯咖啡仔细品味，也是一种享受。当然，小心不要被这些不锈钢的枝条绊倒。

Roxy Paine on the Roof: MaelstromApril 28, 2009–October 25, 2009 (weather permitting)
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden

 American artist Roxy Paine (b. 1966) has created a 130-foot-long by 45-foot-wide stainless-steel sculpture, especially for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. Giving viewers the sense of being immersed in the midst of a cataclysmic force of nature, Maelstrom (2009) is Paine’s largest and most ambitious work to date. The latest in a diverse body of work, this sculpture is one of the artist’s Dendroids based on systems such as vascular networks, tree roots, industrial piping, and fungal mycelia. Set against Central Park and its architectural backdrop, the installation explores the interplay between the natural world and the built environment amid nature’s inherently chaotic processes.
