The next commission to alight above Tenth Avenue on the park’s prominent plinth will be Dinosaur (2024), a hyper-realist aluminum sculpture of a pigeon by Iván Argote, the Bogotá-born, Paris-based artist. Courtesy the artist/The High LineLike many New Yorkers, pigeons are not native to the region. “Iván has a charming ability as an artist to take something familiar and make us consider it anew in profound ways,” Cecilia Alemani, the director and chief curator of High Line Art, said in a statement. Courtesy the artist/The High LineArgote’s prominent pigeon will be the fourth High Line Plinth commission, following works by Pamela Rosenkranz, Simone Leigh and Sam Durant.
