The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden is an outdoor courtyard at MoMA in NYC. Designed by notable architect Philip Johnson, the courtyard was conceived at the same time as Johnson’s West Wing annex for the museum. Construction began in the spring on 1952 and was completed in April 1953.

Throughout the years, the garden has been used as a temporary setting for notable artworks including Alexander Calder’s Black Widow, Anthony Caro’s Midday, Pablo Picasso’s She-Goat.
