Aspen Art Museum

Gigantic in scale and fantastical in nature, Sarah Lucas’s Florian and Kevin inhabit the Aspen Art Museum’s Roof Deck Sculpture Garden, seemingly transported from a fairy tale. These immense squashes, cast entirely of concrete, sit on top of the museum as if sprouted from Jack’s magical beanstalk. Continuing Lucas’s practice of repurposing ordinary objects into unusual contexts, the enormous gourds play with our sense of scale, offering a perspective that is at once familiar and unsettling.
