Carl D’Alvia’s Candy-Colored Sculptures Brighten Broadway

Artist Carl D’Alvia’s towering sculptures have made their Broadway debut, adding splashes of fun color from 64th to 117th Street. Featuring five pieces from the artist’s Liths series, “Carl D’Alvia: Broadway Hubbub,” is presented by Hesse Flatow in partnership with The Broadway Mall Association and NYC Parks’s Art in the Parks program. “I’ve always seen these large works being out in the world with us,” says D’Alvia. “Itinerant characters who slouch, bend, and wander through the world alongside us while holding a sort of sculptural mirror up to us. Being able to show these works on Broadway affords me the unique opportunity to allow these sculptures to wander into the urban fabric and whimsically challenge and interact with the public. There’s only one Broadway.”—Alexandria Sillo
