Fine Arts   The Billy Rose Art Garden

The Billy Rose Art Garden

Designed by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, the Billy Rose Art Garden lies on the western slope of the Museum’s campus. It is divided into wide, crescent-shaped sections arching upward and supported by high walls made of rough fieldstone. As in a Japanese Zen garden, the ground is covered in gravel, and paths lined with local plants and trees connect the different sections. A multitude of materials were incorporated into the garden’s design: stones of different kinds and sizes, exposed concrete, and water. Walls enclose smaller spaces and rectilinear terraces of the garden, echoing the shapes of the Museum’s buildings.  The collection displayed in the garden includes works by the great sculptors of the late nineteenth century (Auguste Rodin, Emile-Antoine Bourdelle, and Aristide Maillol) and renowned artists of the twentieth century (such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Archipenko, Jacques Lipchitz, Henry Moore, David Smith, Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, Claes Oldenburg, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Richard Serra, Joel Shapiro, and James Turrell). Menashe Kadishman, Igael Tumarkin, Ezra Orion, and Benni Efrat are some of the prominent Israeli artists represented.  The Art Garden is greatly loved by the Museum’s visitors. While providing an opportunity for the quiet contemplation of natural and artistic beauty, it has also been the venue of successful cultural events of all kinds. Counted among the finest sculpture gardens of the twentieth century, this is one of Noguchi’s masterpieces, a synthesis of different cultures—those of the Far East, the Near East, and the West—against the backdrop of Jerusalem’s dramatic landscape.

比利羅斯藝術花園

比利羅斯藝術花園 以色列博物館內的比利羅斯藝術花園由日裔美國人雕塑家野口勇（Isamu Noguchi）設計，融合了不同文化；雕塑家將東方及西方的元素融合在中東文化裡，跟耶路撒冷神秘的背景互相輝映。園內收集了多位國際著名雕塑家的作品，包括瑪格達蓮納阿巴卡諾維茲（Magdalena Abakanowicz）、亨利摩爾（Henry Moore）、巴勃羅畢卡索（Pablo Picasso）、詹姆斯特瑞爾（James Turrell）及米哈厄爾曼（Micha Ullman）的作品。 花園坐落在博物館西面的斜坡上，由粗石造成的高牆和拱門支撐。花園設計理念和日本襌宗花園很相近：地面鋪上礫石，小徑兩旁種滿本地獨有的植物。此外，設計師採用不同種類、大小不一的石頭，結合混凝土和水等材料來突出花園設計。 現在藝術花園已成為舉辦各種公共及私人活動、節日慶祝活動、嘉年華會及博物館活動的熱點。為期三天的以色列品酒節每年夏天都在這裡舉行。品酒人士在著名美國波普藝術家羅伯特印第安那（Robert Indiana）的作品《愛》（LOVE）旁邊，品嘗從多間以色列酒廠出品的葡萄酒。他們可以悠閒地坐在一旁，一邊欣賞現場演奏的爵士音樂，一邊細嘗美酒。在清風送爽的晚上，柔和的燈光照亮雕塑，這時對酒當歌，則另有一番風味。除了以色列品酒節，博物館每年八月都會在花園舉辦風箏節，讓大眾感受放風箏的樂趣。傍晚時分，在徐徐微風下，一只只風箏隨風在耶路撒冷的天空中翱翔，場面壯觀。不少以色列專業風箏好手因此慕名而來，一家大小亦可參與風箏製作活動。除此以外，藝術花園還舉辦一系列不同形式的音樂及舞蹈表演，例如以色列愛樂樂團和布茲當代舞蹈團等等，這些活動為藝術花園增添了一份活力。                    比利羅斯藝術花園               羅伯特印第安那的作品《愛》
