Beautiful bronze by New Orleans born Fritz Bultman (1919-1985). This piece was a gift from his family to the Sculpture Garden. He also was a painter, and mostly lived and worked in New York.
From the Gardens walking tour booklet, ist states:

Barrier is part of a series of sculpture inspired by the burning of ancient Troy. The rough textured surface and smooth lines are typical features of Bultman's expressive bronzes.
