The acclaimed South Korean artist Lee Bul’s four new sculptures for The Met’s Fifth Avenue facade are now on view. The site-specific sculptures are the fifth in the Museum’s annual Facade Commission series and Lee’s first major project in the United States in over 20 years.
The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul, Long Tail Halo has transformed the iconic niches of the Museum’s Fifth Avenue facade, challenging what sculptures can reveal about our times. Lee Bul stated that through this project, “My hope is that a personal connection and resonance will be created between the public, the artwork, and the architecture.”
