Yawn? The Metropolitan Museum of Art will not be bringing an exciting new rooftop installation to the masses this summer, instead we'll get a tame set of sculptures from British artist Anthony Caro, on view through October 30th, according to Arts Beat. In the past, the museum has delivered a bamboo wonderland, colorful installations from both Sol Lewitt and Jeff Koons, and in 2009 a neat silver tree.
Museum officials that after their sleeper summer, however, they'll be ready for "a more ambitious presentation" next year. To be exact, Argentine artist Tomas Saraceno will be coming to town to create a roof installation "inspired by eco-utopian visions for future sustainable communities."
