Views of Utopia at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park

Jaume Plensa’s Utopia (2020) consists of four 20-by-90 foot carved marble portraits installed on the walls of the atrium of the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park’s welcome center. Photo by Renée DeVoe Mertz.

Note: I am giving the date of Utopia as 2020 based on the accompanying wall label. However, Jaume Plensa’s website lists the date as 2021, the year of the work’s installation and public opening.
