Wangechi Mutu: The New Ones Will Free Us

Event Details

The NewOnes, will free Us, by Kenyan-American artist Wangechi Mutu, inaugurates an annual commission to animate The Met’s historic facade. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt and completed in 1902, the facade features four niches that were always intended to house free-standing sculptures, but have long lain empty. In filling them now with Mutu’s extraordinary sculptures, the Museum brings to fruition a dream 117 years in the making. Mutu has responded to The Met’s invitation by creating four bronze sculptures, individually titled The Seated I, II, III, and IV (2019).
