The Roof Garden Commission: Dan Graham with Günther Vogt | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2014/dan-graham

This installation by Dan Graham (born 1942, Urbana, Illinois) is the second in a new series of site-specific commissions for the Museum’s Roof Garden.

Additional support is provided by Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon B. Polsky.
