12 shortlisted artists have been announced for the High Line’s fifth and sixth iteration of the High Line Plinth Commission. Artists Dana Awartani, Leilah Babirye, Natalie Ball, Sammy Baloji, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Rachel Feinstein, Camille Henrot, Mire Lee, Candice Lin, Emeka Ogboh, Tuan Andrew Nguyen and Gala Porras-Kim have been selected from 56 proposals. Their proposals will be on display as maquettes from the 19 March through June at the High Line’s Coach Passage.
Of the selection, Cecilia Alemani, the Donald R. Mullen, Jr. Director & Chief Curator of High Line Art, says, ‘These 12 proposals for the High Line Plinth each offer an exciting perspective on the power and potential of public art to connect us with history, the natural environment, and each other. We look forward to seeing what new reactions the 3-D maquettes provoke and invite visitors to share their thoughts.’
The two winning proposals will be installed in Spring 2026 and Fall 2027 respectively.
