Krugman has other artwork at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The New Museum, the New York Hall of Science and others. He is known for his innovative use of LED light and custom circuitry. In his newest work, “Reef” features 840 silicon bronze reflectors that redirect light from the sculpture’s LEDs, creating vibrant and lively splashes of color.
