The Broadway Mall Association’s thirteenth public art exhibition, Broadway Blooms: Jon Isherwood on Broadway, opened on Broadway in July 2021 and remained on view through July 2022. Organized in partnership with NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program and Morrison Gallery in Kent, CT, and with the assistance of the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District, the installation featured eight marble sculptures on the green malls at the center of Broadway between 64th Street and 157th Street.

Jon Isherwood’s marble sculptures were created for exhibition on the malls in 2020. For more than one year the Covid pandemic delayed their transport from Isherwood’s studio in Italy. The delayed “bloom” of the eight marble sculptures in the form of flowers celebrated the return to life of the city after a long and difficult winter and spring.
