Blue Rose #2—the blue rendition of three larger-than-life roses, is an extension of Ryman’s acclaimed site-specific sculpture series, “The Roses,” which lined Park Avenue, New York in 2011. While the form of the rose is immediately recognizable, its familiarity is altered through monumental size and bright blue coloring. Blue Rose #2 is ultimately a transformation and a celebration of daily life, reshaping how we interact with our surroundings.
