Hegarty's artwork often poses as art history artifacts gone awry. Through the combination of real and fabricated components, she leaves the viewer to wonder at the veracity of the transformation. For the High Line, her work imagines a 19th-century Hudson River School landscape painting that has been left outdoors, exposed to the elements. Hegarty’s painting is based on Jasper Francis Cropsey’s Autumn on the Hudson River of 1860, a bucolic landscape that shows none of the affects of the Industrial Revolution. Hegarty’s canvas is tattered and frayed, and the partially exposed stretcher bars appear to be morphing into tree branches, as if reverting back to their natural state.

Sarah Sze: Still Life with Landscape
Wed, June 8, 2011 – Fri, June 8, 2012 Sarah Sze created an elaborate metropolis of perspectival architectural models that is bisected by the High Line itself. The sculpture forms an open archway that frames the views to the north and south, as well as allows visitors to physically enter and pass through the space it outlines.
