— a note from the studio

“A linear park built on the old New York Central freight viaduct, running 1.45 miles above Tenth Avenue from Gansevoort Street to Hudson Yards. The rails are still there, set into the planting. The river opens at the western balconies; the city closes back in at Chelsea. The first section opened in 2009 after a decade of community work to save the structure.

— about High Line elevated park overlooking Hudson

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

The High Line is an elevated linear park built on the West Side Line, a 1934 freight viaduct of the New York Central Railroad. It runs 1.45 miles from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District north to 34th Street at Hudson Yards, passing through the West Chelsea Historic District. The line carried its last train in 1980 and reopened as park in three sections: 2009, 2011, and 2014, with the Spur over Tenth Avenue added in 2019. Friends of the High Line operates the park in partnership with NYC Parks.

— the year

Planting on the High Line follows a four-season design by Piet Oudolf using more than 500 species, most of them perennials and grasses that echo the self-seeded landscape that grew on the abandoned rails in the 1990s. Spring brings amelanchier and tulipa; midsummer is sedum, echinacea, and ornamental grasses; autumn turns to russet panicum and aster; winter holds dried seed heads against the rails. Friends of the High Line publishes weekly bloom updates from April through October.

— the visit

The High Line is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. in summer and closes earlier in winter. Admission is free. Eleven access points run between Gansevoort and 34th Street, most with stairs and several with elevators. The southern entrance connects to the Whitney Museum at Gansevoort and to Chelsea Market at 16th. The Hudson Yards end opens onto the Vessel and the Edge observation deck. Bicycles and pets are not permitted on the park.

— about the piece in your home

It has carried well for customers who live in Chelsea, work in the West Twenties, or remember walking the line in its first opening summer. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note works.

The greens and warm rail-tones sit easily in Modern Industrial, Pre-War Manhattan, and Biophilic Modern rooms. The piece reads well over a console in an entry or above a writing desk.

Yes. The piece carries the Oudolf planting palette directly, which sits at the centre of current biophilic and naturalistic design. The grasses and seed heads are the visual signature.

A single Large suits a console. For a sofa we usually point people to a four-tile Mural, and a nine-tile Mural for a full statement wall above a sectional.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and handle steam and splash for backsplashes, powder rooms, and shower walls. The Glossy finish is for framed wall display.

A microfibre cloth with warm water. No abrasive pads or solvents. The colour lives in the ceramic surface beneath the finish, so it will not rub away.

Yes. Every piece is painted in the studio's own visual language and finished in-house in Knoxville, Tennessee. We do not license images and we do not resell other artists' work.
