For five decades, Alice Aycock’s work has examined relations between the body, the built environment, and the natural landscape: from her pioneering interventions in public space as an early practitioner of the Land Arts movement, to her more recent, large-scale public sculptures commissioned across the United States.

Aycock’s works can be found in numerous private and public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Storm King Art Center, New Windsor, NY; and the Sprengel Museum, Hanover.

The Alice Aycock Pavilion is designed in collaboration with Philip Castillo of Jahn. Designed to honor the landscape by reflecting both earth and sky, The Alice Aycock Pavilion takes formal inspiration from Long Island potato barns and the artist’s early work, Low Building with Dirt Roof (for Mary), 1973/2010. Over decades of practice and generations of leadership, across continents and cultures, alongside countless partners and co-creators, Jahn’s practice has never stopped changing. They have been at the foundation of the Chicago School, at the forefront of building technology, at head-spinning heights of the
world’s most beloved skyscrapers, and at the roots of healthy communities.
