high Line magic tree
As well as a linear garden New Yorks High Line is also a growing sculpture park . When we first joined the trail on 30th Street we were met with this radiant tree which is the latest work on the trail its by Pamela Rosenkranz its called Old tree (2023). It has a good situation as its a sort of crossroads on the High Line; head west if you want to walk along the Hudson or head South down the main stretch through Chelsea
Standing 25 feet tall atop the High Line Plinth, Old Tree is the work of Swiss artist Pamela Rosenkranz, its 145 branches recalling at once both the limbs of a tree and human blood vessels.
“This piece immediately stood out because of the ambition of scale, and the color is something incredible that brought it to a whole other level,” Cecilia Alemani, the director and chief curator of High Line Art told Artnet News during the installation of the work. “It’s like the central square in a village with a tree and benches around it.”
If you missed an earlier photo of the High Line a bit of information
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated linear park, created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan. The park is built on an abandoned, southern viaduct section of the New York Central Railroad's West Side Line. Originating in the Meatpacking District, the park runs from Gansevoort Street – three blocks below 14th Street – through Chelsea to the northern edge of the West Side Yard on 34th Street
The old railway was abandoned and left derelict from 1980. A nonprofit organisation called Friends of the High Line was formed in 1999 by Joshua David and Robert Hammond, advocating its preservation and its reuse as public open space and garden. Celebrity New Yorkers joined in on fundraising and support for the concept. The administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced plans for a High Line park in 2003.
Since opening in June 2009, the High Line has become an icon of American contemporary landscape architecture. The High Line's success has inspired cities throughout the United States to redevelop obsolete infrastructure as public space. The park became a tourist attraction and spurred real estate development in adjacent neighbourhood’s. By September 2019 the High Line , had over eight million visitors per year.
The volunteers who manage the gardens should be very proud the plantings in the garden that are imaginative and beautifully maintained
