Hirshhorn's sculpture garden turns over a new leaf

The public unveiling of the renovated Sculpture Garden at the Hirshhorn Museum/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The Smithsonian's new Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden dumbfounded me, the effects as sweeping and beautiful as gardens and art can be.

They promised us a "rose garden," and ladies and gents, we get much more than that. 

After a four-year renovation by Hiroshi Sugimoto who designed the landscaping, the stoneworks, and the tunnel sculpture, too, the garden re-opened on Halloween (with the only known association I can find, today's All Saints Day who must have bequeathed their blessings). 

But before I go over the top, let me try to rein in my enthusiasm and say the garden and sculpture are absolutely breathtaking, the design!  The landscape! And (lest I forget): the sculptures which number almost 60 (before they are all installed) compared to the previous total of 35. 

Below are some of the sculptures which fascinated me.  How does your garden grow?

Bhabha asks us to reflect on how we greet the unfamiliar, whether with trust or aggression, peace or violence. 

Centered in the distance, looking like the bottoms of two white frying pans glued together,  is Elmgreen & Dragset's Eight. (See below.)

Henry Moore, Castleford, England, 1898–1986, King and Queen, 1952–1953/cast 195, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966 at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

From two labels: This was cast the same year, 1953, that Queen Elizabeth was crowned queen. Moore was partly inspired by the sculpture in the British Museum of an Egyptian royal couple from the 18th century B.C. whose humble postures and stoic expressions imply the dignity and fortitude of everyday people in Europe following World War II.

Behind these royal members are some of the garden's stunning stacked-stone walls designed by the museum's garden and landscape designer, Hiroshi Sugimoto an sculptor himself. 

The wall materials come from approximately 950 tons of stone left from residual material from construction blasting in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where they were intended to be crushed and used for gravel. 

It took 44 shipments to get them to the Hirshhorn where 10 Japanese stonemasons hand-stacked them over several months using a centuries-old technique employed in castle construction. Each wall was conceived with a distinct character,  some  the masons described as “male” or

“female.”

(Thank you, Hirshhorn, for recycling!)

Barbara Hepworth, 1903–1975, Curved Form: Bryer II, 1961, bronze and metal wire, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Bequest, 1981, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: The Hirshhorn holds an extensive collection of work by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, two of the twentieth century’s most renowned British sculptors. The artists—both friends and rivals—are known for their evolution of abstract sculpture, including their work in the Surrealist biomorphic style.  Hepworth's later works were inspired by a landscape on the southern

coast of England. 

A Wish Tree for Washington, D.C., 2007 by Yoko Ono, b. 1933, gift of the artist, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

All supplies to make and hang a wish or wishes are provided.

This tree is like "wish trees" Yoko Ono has planted around the world. One has been up at the Hirshhorn several times before now, including during the administrations of George Bush and Dick Cheney, 2001-2009, when I made wishes (which did not come true then; one, much later).

And my tour group saw one at The Peace Palace at The Hague, Netherlands in 2024.

The label: The wishes are gathered and saved at the Imagine Peace Tower Yoko One has created in Reykjavík, Iceland. She hopes their collective power will ‘‘give encouragement, inspiration and a sense of solidarity in a world now filled with fear and confusion. Let us come together to realize a peaceful world.” 

Auguste Rodin, 1840-1917, Burghers of Calais 1884–1889/cast 1953–1959, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label says The Burghers of Calais, "convey the intense psychological distress felt by that city’s 14th-century citizens, who suffered a devastating military defeat and had to turn over their city’s keys to the English." 

Henri Matisse, 1869–1954, The Back I–IV, 1909–1931/cast 1959–1960, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: Most of Henri Matisse’s sculptures are modest in scale, but in 1909 he made his first life-size figure. By choosing relief, rather than in-the-round sculpture, he could explore in solid yet two-dimensional form the problems of style that challenged him in various paintings at that time. The initial version (known as Back 0) no longer exists; it was destroyed when Matisse remade it into Back 1. Both versions presented an expressively modeled nude with muscular anatomy and contorted pose—features that he had absorbed from Auguste Rodin’s art. 

The Back sculptures were not originally created as a series and never exhibited together during the artist's lifetime.  

David Smith, 1906–1965, Auburn Queen, 1959, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

 The label: Born in Indiana, where he once worked on an auto-production line, David Smith was inspired by the early Cubist sculptures of Pablo Picasso and Julio Gonzalez, which broke from traditional cast bronze in favor of welded metal. Smith is often acknowledged as the first American to make this leap. His final series reveal his experiments with burnishing to refract and reflect shifting light. 

David Smith, 1906–1965, Cubi XII, 1963, stainless steel, gift of the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Foundation, 1972, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: The artist was adamant that the Cubi be shown outdoors, where the play of sunshine creates a dynamic condition of perpetual flux: light dancing on its surface creates a feeling of movement, while the object is simultaneously still and rooted in place. On the right, see the shadow Rodin's Monument to Balzac (below).

Auguste Rodin, 1840–1917, Monument to Balzac 1891–1898/cast 1965–1966, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

Auguste Rodin, 1840–1917, Walking Man,  1900/enlarged 1905/cast 1962, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

Germain Richier, 1902-1959, Grain, 1955, bronze, gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: After World War II, Richier’s sculptural style and ideas changed dramatically. She began to merge human bodies with animal, insect, and vegetable shapes to create unnaturally mutated hybrid creatures. Often appearing mangled or flayed, with exposed skeletons, her figures serve as haunting reminders of past destruction and harbingers of impending

death. The title of this work refers to wheat, corn, or rice, but the figure’s forms and pose suggest a grasshopper or locust—that is, a destroyer of crops, a plague that can bring famine.

Alberto Giacometti, 1901–1966,  Monumental Head,  1960, bronze,

gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label:  Haunted by the specter of death after World War III, Giacometti sculpted giant figures with staring eyes. The rough, gouged surfaces of his bronzes evoke the ravages of physical abuse, as if the flesh had been burnt or flayed. It was partly inspired by the colossal Byzantine stone,  which Giacometti had seen in the Capitoline Museum, Rome.

Jeff Koons, b. 1955, Kiepenkerl, 1987, stainless steel, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Purchase Fund and Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, 1998, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: This sculpture echoes a sandstone original (c. 1895) created by August Schmiemann for a town square in Munster, Germany, that depicted a peasant merchant carrying food on his back. It was destroyed in World War II, and a bronze replica was created by Albert Mazzetti Jr. in 1953 for the same location. When Jeff Koons was invited to contribute to the 1987 Skulptur Projekte Munster—a major international art show—he decided to create his own version in mirror-polished stainless steel, which was installed in place of the bronze throughout the course of the exhibition. 

Note Hiroshi Sugimoto's stoneworks.

Chatchai Puipia, b. 1964, Wish You Were Here, 2008, bronze, gift of Aey Phanachet and Roger Evans in honor of the Hirshhorn’s 50th anniversary, 2025, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label:  Chatchai Puipia is a renowned Thai artist (one of ten new ones at the Hirshhorn) who works in both painting and sculpture, often using his own body as subject. Wish You Were Here is a monumental sculpture of his lower body clothed in a wrap known as a pha khao ma, resting on his back with legs crossed as though he lies dreaming in the grass. 

Puipia originally made the work for a major hotel/shopping center development (never installed) to meditate upon the disparity between the fast pace of evolving Thai culture and its traditional dreams and ideals. This contrast between old and new, personal and public, also resonates against the formality of the National Mall.

(Writer's note:  I am lying at the beach,  dreaming and Glad you aren't here since  I try to keep my body under the sand, away from public viewing.  Who cares?)

Another view of Puipia's Wish You Were Here, with the Hirshhorn Museum on the left and the tops of the Smithsonian Castle and Washington Monument on the right, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

If this looks like a grandma, that's because it is a grandma.

From the label: Lauren Halsey (one of ten new artists at the Hirshhorn) was born in South Central Los Angeles, "the foundation and main inspiration for her work." This is one of six columns she created for the 2024 Venice Biennale. Here she wraps the form of an Ancient Egyptian column in impressions from various signs, posters, and advertisements she found in her neighborhood, a portrait of her grandmother, Antoinette Grace Halsey, at the top. 

Kaws, b. 1974, Shelter,  2026, bronze, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Purchase Fund, 2026, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

 

The label:   Kaws began working as a graffiti artist in New York in the 1990s. His wide-ranging practice features a cast of characters (some original, some inspired by popular cartoons or brand mascots) and spans painting, sculpture, video, product design, and collaborations with celebrated names in music, fashion, gaming, and design. 

Shelter is one of the Hirshhorn's new commissions.

Hiroshi Sugimoto, b. 1948, Passage of Reflectance, 2026; stainless steel; 

Joseph H. Hirshhorn Purchase Fund, 2026, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label: As a sculptor, Hiroshi Sugimoto (who redesigned the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden between 2020 and 2026) is interested in how objects can help us visualize certain mathematical principles that govern our physical world yet often remain unseen. 

Passage of Reflectance  connects the central garden to the museum, and an immersive artwork defined by two curving lines, gradually converging inward to

the center of the Museum’s circular building and theoretically continuing on to infinity. 

The stainless-steel walls used to trace these lines are treated so that their mirrored reflections are distorted, an effect the artist equates to that of an Impressionist painting. 

This underground passage has reopened for the first time since the early 1980s.

At the other end of Passage of Reflectance are steps and the connection to the museum. In the distance, centered, is Elmgreen & Dragset's Eight, below, and beyond it can be seen, the National Archives 

At the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

Elmgreen & Dragset, founded 1995, Michael Elmgreen, b. 1961 and Ingar Dragset, b.1969, Eight, 2026, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, concrete, lacquer, and lights, Joseph H. Hirshhorn Purchase Fund with generous support from the New Carlsberg Foundation, 2026, at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

The label:  The artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset are known for large-scale public works that make the familiar feel new and magical. Eight is a monumental sculpture of a swimming pool, empty, tipped on end, with its bright-blue interior exposed. The striking curves of its vertical figure 8, set against the backdrop of the curved Hirshhorn Museum building just beyond, are playful and alluring, but also a paradox: this is a pool in which one cannot swim. 

For many around the world, a private swimming pool is a status symbol. The artists ask us to consider what we are truly aspiring to, and what happens when we finally get what we want . . . and it’s empty.

Eight is another of the Hirshhorn's new commissions.

From another overlook at the Hirshhorn Museum's new Sculpture Garden/By Patricia Leslie, Oct. 31, 2026

Numbers matter to some: Although the garden size is presented as 1.3 acres, it seems much larger. Twenty new sculptures not previously shown at the Hirshhorn will soon or now stand in the garden, including 12 recent acquisitions and seven commissions.  There are 38 artists in the reinstallation compared to the previous 22 before renovation, with 16 living artists and a total of 22 international sculptors.  

The ten new artists are Woody De Othello, Theaster Gates (loan), Mark Grotjahn (gift), Raven Halfmoon, Lauren Halsey, Liz Larner, Chatchai Puipia (gift), Pedro Reyes, Arlene Shechet, and Hiroshi Sugimoto (the garden's, the landscape's, the stone wall's and the tunnel's designer). 

Congress established the Hirshhorn Museum and Garden in 1966 when Joseph Hirshhorn gave his collection to the nation, and it officially opened in 1974.

 

The revitalization of the garden was announced in 2019 and ground was broken almost four years ago.

 

The new entrance ways and overlooks welcome the 35 million National Mall visitors who can walk through a short underground passageway from  the sculpture garden up the few stairs to the Hirshhorn Museum.

What:  The  Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

When: The garden, open daily, 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m.; the museum, Monday, 12 - 5:30 p.m.; Tuesday - Sunday, 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. (The cafe closes at 5 p.m.)

Closed on Christmas Day. 

No timed entry required.

Where: The corner of Independence Ave. SW and 7th St. SW. Washington, D.C. 20560

Music, love and dancing in Alexandria!

From left, Rachael Fine, Alicia Braxton, and Lori

Bonnette in Little Theatre 

of Alexandria's She Loves Me/By Matt Liptak

 

And you thought your Christmases were hectic!  Guurrrll….you hadn’t seen nuthin’ yet ‘til you see the dancers and singers whizzing through the 12 days of Christmas at light speed like they do in She Loves Me, a delightful musical comedy now on stage at Little Theatre of Alexandria. 

It’s one of the funniest scenes in the show with a big cast of 17, and all of them, royal entertainers. 

At Maraczek's Parfumerie, the clerks are constantly on the prowl for needy customers who fill the store before Santa arrives, with the pace accelerating as the reindeer draw closer and it's a frenetic chase to find the finest gifts.

The whole play is lots of fun and entertainment. It's a predictable script:  boy meets girl; they grimace, they hiss; they howl...whoa!  They are meeting whom for dinner?  

From left, Stephen Yednock and Evan Arellano star in Little Theatre of Alexandria's She Loves Me/By Matt Liptak

Which takes place in my second favorite scene, at the restaurant with black sexy tablecloths and red curtains where the waiter (Evan Arellano) goes down on the floor for the count, while the headwaiter (Stephen Yednock) sings the humorous A Romantic Atmosphere, delighting the ears of the audience, his voice, one of the best and strongest in the show.

Shelby Young is the jilted Amalia waiting at a table meant for two since her “blind” date never shows (to the best of her knowledge). (Young performs at LTA via the Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall, no less. You'll hear why.)

 

The setting is a 1934 shop in Budapest, that city chosen because She Loves Me is based on a 1937 play by Hungarian playwright, Miklós László  which was adapted for the 1949 musical In the Good Old Summertime and later, the 1998 movie You’ve Got Mail. (Rupert Holmes's early 1980s tune, Escape! The Pina Colada Song may have found its roots in Hungary, too.)

Phil Krzywicki is the realistic Mr. Maraczek, the owner of the Parfumerie and the typical retail boss trying to squeeze every last dollar from his customers who come in single file to shop. 

The story centers on George (Anthony Galace), a natural in his role as the assistant store manager and later, a paper starstruck lover, who doesn't particularly cotton to Amalia as her career in the shop launches.

It's through a lonely-hearts club that their true matches turn up.

Mr. Maraczek and Georg have disagreements but none as bad as the false rumor flying that a clerk, Steven Kodaly (Brandon Schenk), is sleeping with the boss's wife!  Hold on for an (almost) tragedy.

Handsome Steven is also a not-so-good boyfriend of the cutest, peppiest clerk there could ever be, Ilona (Maura Lacy) whom Steven strings along, but Ilona has good luck at the library and delivers one of the greatest hits of the night with the strange and you’ve got-to-be-kidding title, A Trip to the Library. (Folks, it really is good.)

  

Meanwhile, everybody should have a helpmate like Michael McGovern who as Ladislav (emphasis on the last syllable) helps Georg sort through conflicts and make everyone feel good, like the frisky Arpad (Mylo Cluff) who pops up often to make things right.

The ensemble includes Dale Dwyer, Lori Bonnette, Alicia Braxton, Rachael Fine (dance captain), Gavin Hubbard, Jordan Lohmeyer, Jennifer Thomas, and Brett Womack.

Mitchell Aiello directed and choreographed the show with music direction by Isabel Hernandez-Cata. Eleanore Tapscott produced, assisted by Cassie Cope.

   

Julie Fischer has designed two stunning levels of colorful parfumeries and cosmetics. (Where did Brooke Angel Markley and Jennifer Rubio find all those bottles?)  Ari McSherry's shadow lighting accentuates the presentation.

Fashionistas will admire the many stylish period costumes by Juliana Cofrancesco and Farrel Hartigan and those hats!  Love 'em!  

And for seasons changing?  A clever dropping of leaves and snow will suffice, if you please.

Matthew Brown plays the piano and conducts the hidden orchestra of 11 members who bring welcome live music to the theatre. 

Monique Mormon and Alais Reiter are stage managers. Alan Wray, sound director; Diana Almeida, hair and makeup

The preview of Christmas coming will ease minds that ours are not exactly like theirs...or are they?

Harold Prince directed the original Broadway show She Loves Me in 1963, and 1993 and 2016 revivals all together produced a total of 22 Tony Award nominations! 

What:  She Loves Me by Joe Masteroff, Jerry Bock, and Sheldon Harnick

When:  Now through Nov. 7, 2026 on Thursday - Saturday at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Where:  Little Theatre of Alexandria, 600 Wolfe St., Alexandria, VA 22314

A 'Family Murder' in Vienna

Starring in Vienna Theatre Company's An Old Fashioned Family Murder are, from left, Ansley Sherwin as Clarice, Taveion Mickens as Jasper, Michelle Kritzler as Mrs. Peck, and Eddie Perez as THE Junior Detective /Photo by Kevin Lukacs  

Vienna Theatre Company's An Old Fashioned Family Murder will leave you smiling and happy, just like a mysterious comedy should, even if it involves a family murder.

Yeeks!

Director Katie Boone has fleshed out superb acting by all  six players, but no one can do it better than the arrogant and conceited Mr. Arthur Whittington (Charles Boone) spewing condescending remarks whenever he can find  opportunities to build his bullying personality.

And find opportunities a'plenty, he does.

Who cares if he's a famous author? 

Is there a body under there?  Junior Detective Peck (Eddie Perez) wants to know in Vienna Theatre Company's An Old Fashioned Family Murder/Photo by  Kevin Lukacs 

Mr. Whittington arrives at the family mansion of Colonel Claythorne on a "dark and stormy night" as thunder crashes and lightening flashes outside the windows of the fancy parlor. (Realistic crashes and lighting by Myer Kim, Ari McSherry, and Julia O'Beirne.)  

The colonel, age 93, is never seen in person but he dominates the conversation and the stage from his large portrait perched above the fireplace.

The menacing Whittington brings upsetting news for the colonel's two daughters: One of them has been cut out of their father's will!

The will!  

Oh, my! 

Which daughter?

Are you kidding?  

Whatever shall happen to me, me, me?

Glory be!  Charles Boone as Arthur Whittington in Vienna Theatre Company's An Old Fashioned Family Murder celebrates the passage of writer's block/Photo by Kevin Lukacs 

That "me, me, me" is the hilarious and wildly animated "pool boy," Jasper (Taveion Mickens) badly in need of a dictionary and he's also the fiancé of Clarice (Ansley Sherwin), the prissy and aloof daughter dressed in glamourous evening wear, accompanied always by a dangling cigarette.  (Costuming by Juliana Confrancesco and Farrell Hartigan.)

Priggish sister Dottie (Samantha Mitchell) is a bookworm who wears all black neck to knees and who kissed Mr. Whittington on his cheek (?) and what did that mean?  (Mitchell's hesitancy and speech pauses endear her to the audience.) 

Enter the kindly, maybe doddering Mrs. Peck (Michelle Kritzler) who knows a thing or two about murders (her dead husband was a chief detective) and she's got some learnin' to do for this crowd, including that for her son, junior detective Peck (Eddie Perez) whom she summons to help solve the murder of ...?

The mother and son duo make quite the chitchat, but wait...Mrs. Peck is stuffing a piece of paper inside her dress?  Huh?

And, what's this? Sigmund Freud? Mrs. Peck aims to take him down a peg or two.

It’s always fun to pick out whodunnit and this one is not easy.  You should try it and see.  I never get them right.

Unseen cast members are Kim Paul, the radio announcer, and Shelby Kaplan who sings.

Charles Boone not only acts but he designed the set, an elegant, red-velveted walled parlor, just as you'd expect for Joe DiPietro's 1940s show, DiPietro, a two-time Tony Award winner.  

Helping stage the Murder are Kevin Lukacs, producer; Anna Mae Murphy and Suellen Evans, stage managers; Michelle Lukacs, lead set painter, and more of Katie Boone as properties designer and helper for her husband with set dressing.
