Seems the last couple of times I was at MoMA, the weather wasn't so good for a proper Sculpture Garden visit...
Below is some text from their press release on what treasures are currently on display out there...
This summer’s Sculpture Garden installation brings together figurative works from the late 19th century to the present day. Making its debut in the Sculpture Garden is Figurengruppe/Group of Figures, by contemporary German artist Katharina Fritsch (b. 1956). Conceived in 2006–08, the work features nine life-size sculptures of, among other figures, St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake, all rendered in precise detail and finished in bold colors. Religious symbolism and references to mythology abound, yet any fixed meaning remains open and elusive. 
Group of Figures is joined by earlier works such as Auguste Rodin’s heroic St. John the Baptist Preaching (1878–80) and Aristide Maillol’s pensive Mediterranean (1902–05). Striking a casual pose in his derby hat is Elie Nadelman’s Man in the Open Air (c. 1915), and perched atop a tall pedestal is Gaston Lachaise’s open-armed, voluptuous Floating Figure (1927). 
Perennial favorites like Picasso’s She-Goat (1950) and Miró’s Moonbird (1966) are on view as well, in addition to works by Renée Sintenis, Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Tom Otterness.All photos by me. And are viewable in more detail on the Todd Hellskitchen Flickr Page.
It's a nice perk of MoMA Membership with the added benefit of MoMA's proximity to Hell's Kitchen... That dropping by the MoMA Sculpture Garden for a morning read, some quiet time, or a session to just sit and catch up on Smartphone emails is so easily doable!
It's all good...
Here's an article on Katharina Fritsch, written by Eleonore Hugendubel and posted on the MoMA blog.
