Andres Institute of Art

Andres Institute of Art is a public sculpture park in Brookline, New Hampshire, United States. It was founded in 1996 by local benefactor Paul Andres and sculptor John Weidman.^[2] Its collection of more than 70 metal and stone sculptures are distributed over 140 acres (57 ha) on Potanipo Hill, the site of a former ski area. The sculptures are situated in a variety of garden and forested situations, spread over eleven hiking trails on the hillside.^[1] The trails range from easy to difficult, and the views along them change drastically with the changing of the seasons. Most of the sculptures are abstract and cryptic pieces,^[3] with each year's accessions coming from both new artists and familiar ones.^[4] The trails lead visitors by works such as Contempo Rustic, a couch fashioned from slabs of rock and metal, or Mbari House, a house-shaped granite-and-metal totem to peace and friendship.^[5]
