Wheatfield — A Confrontation is a 1982 artwork by conceptual artist Agnes Denes. The work, a 2.2-acre field of wheat, was grown on the empty Battery Park landfill in Manhattan, next to the World Trade Center, for four months from 1 May to 16 August 1982. Described by Denes as "an intrusion of the country into the metropolis, the world's richest real estate", it is regarded as her best-known work.
