Art gone wild: The best places to see sculptures outdoors

Article: Art gone wild: The best places to see sculptures outdoors

Some of the most popular outdoor works of the last few decades -- James Turrell's famous Skyspaces, Robert Smithson's "Spiral Jetty," Antony Gormley's standing figures, Andy Goldsworthy's ephemeral works in nature -- have shown how a fresh setting can make for a perspective-altering and exhilarating experience.

We often view art in white cube spaces and neoclassical museums. But once a work of art is placed outdoors -- whether in a busy city or the open countryside -- it's given new meaning.

Here are a few of the best places to view outdoor art today.

-Yorkshire Sculpture Park (Wakefield, United Kingdom)

-Domaine de Muy (Le Muy, France)

-Not Vital Foundation (Sent, Switzerland)

-Brooklyn Bridge Park (New York)
