YARD by American artist Allan Kaprow (1927 – 2006) was first realised in 1961, staged in the small open-air sculpture garden behind the Martha Jackson Gallery in New York. Five existing sculptures in the courtyard, including works by Barbara Hepworth and Alberto Giacometti were wrapped in protective tar paper before Kaprow filled the courtyard with hundreds of old car tyres. Dispersed in no particular order, Kaprow tossed the tyres around, to encourage visitors to walk on, climb, rearrange and interact with them.
