TBT | Allyson Vieira’s Pyramid of Cups

In April 2012, High Line Art presented its first group exhibition titled Lilliput, which featured miniature sculptures installed in unusual and unexpected places on the High Line and created an art treasure hunt for visitors.

New York-based artist Allyson Vieira presented Construction (Rampart), a bronze cast of a paper cup pyramid. As it aged over the course of the year-long exhibition, the sculpture collected plant debris and water, transforming into an urban relic and evoking the past trajectory of the High Line itself.

Allyson Vieira’s Construction (Rampart) was on view from April 2012 to April 2013 on the High Line at West 23rd Street.
