A sculpture known as Blue was disassembled from the grounds of the Kennedy Center. The sculpture, a tall, blue stick figure, was designed by Joel Shapiro and installed in 2019. It depicted a figure poised in action, as if kicking a ball.

The removal of the sculpture is part of a series of changes at the Kennedy Center. These changes have stirred pushback and are connected to a broader effort to reshape the area.

Further details about the removal and the ongoing changes at the Kennedy Center are available from the source.
