Hirshhorn (1899\u20131981), immigrated to New York from Latvia when he was six years old. His widowed mother settled with her children (Joseph was the twelfth of thirteen) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n\n<p>When he was eighteen, Hirshhorn acquired his first works of art: two etchings by the sixteenth-century German artist Albrecht D\u00fcrer, purchased for $75 each. This acquisition marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for collecting art. In 1966, his gift to the nation of more than 12,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and mixed-media pieces established his namesake museum on the National Mall.<\/p>\n\n<p>Embedded on and in the National Mall, the Hirshhorn\u2019s 1.5-acre Sculpture Garden is home to a rotating display of the museum\u2019s outdoor art. Comprising nearly a quarter of Joseph Hirshhorn\u2019s initial gift to the nation, sculpture was and remains a foundational element of the collection. Rotating displays highlight modern art history, from human-sized bronzes by some of the most important 20th century artists to emerging forms like performance, video, and time-based art.<\/p>\n\n<p>Image:\u00a0Auguste Rodin,\u00a0<em>The Burghers of Calais<\/em>,(1884-1889\/cast 1953-1959), Courtesy of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hirshhorn.si.edu\/hirshhorninsideout\/\"><strong>The Hirshhorn\u2019s Sculpture Garden<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The Hirshhorn\u2019s Sculpture Garden tells the history of modern art, and so does its design. In 1974, Gordon Bunshaft drew inspiration from Japanese Zen gardens to highlight the nowness of modern art in the Hirshhorn\u2019s outdoor galleries. In 1981, Lester Collins, a landscape architect similarly inspired by Japanese garden aesthetics, added elements of shade, seating, accessibility, and greenery.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since then, artmaking has changed. The Hirshhorn is reimagining the garden for the 21st century. The Hirshhorn has commissioned Japanese-American artist-architect Hiroshi Sugimoto to revitalize our Sculpture Garden for new generations of artists and audiences for contemplative and engaging experiences.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"572\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hirshhorn_1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hirshhorn_1.jpg 572w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Hirshhorn_1-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Anne Reeve<\/strong>\u00a0joined the Hirshhorn as Associate Curator in June 2018, where she curated an exhibition devoted to the work of Lee Ufan, which constituted the artist\u2019s largest site-specific sculptural commission ever to be mounted in the United States.
