LYMAN WHITAKER SCULPTURE EXHIBIT TO LAUNCH IN MAY 2020 

In May 2020 the Navy Yard Garden Association will launch the public art exhibit WOW: Wind on Water by nationally recognized metal sculptor Lyman Whitaker, whose work is held in private collections and displayed at public sites across the U.S. and internationally.

Whitaker’s family friendly exhibit will showcase the Navy Yard’s windy microclimate with 31 Wind Sculptures™ of elegant designs and varying heights from approximately six to eighteen feet, spinning and delighting visitors who view the sculptures along the Harbor Walk from Shipyard Park to Menino Park.

The artist has been a practicing sculptor for over 50 years, with a unique knowledge of materials and their application. The past 30 years have primarily been focused on creating his Wind Sculptures™, each of which is produced by hand. Learn more about his work at Whitaker Studios
 

This outdoor sculpture exhibit is made possible by support from the Boston Planning & Development Agency and a grant from the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and by the City of Boston. In addition, sponsors include corporations, friends and neighbors who have generously lent their support for the first-ever Navy Yard installation of Whitaker’s work in this unique corner of the city.
