Agnes Denes (*1931 in Budapest) is a pioneer in conceptual, environmental and ecological art. One of her most striking installations is “Wheatfield - A Confrontation: Battery Park Landfill, Downtown Manhattan” from 1982. During a three month period the artist and volunteers planted a wheat field in one of the last undeveloped sections of Manhattan. An area right next to the Twin Towers and Wall Street called Battery Park City. The artist gained more attention recently, but is still overlooked in her prophetic art.
