The Seated III - a photo on Flickriver

The Seated III

            For the first time in 117 years the niches in the facade of the Metropolitan Museum display sculpture.

Artist Wangechi Mutu is the first artist commissioned for what is going to be a yearly installation.  

Last night Wangechi gave an artist talk and spoke about her work and process.  The 4 pieces in the series "The New Ones, will free Us" are both beautiful and powerful.  The works reference African and Western cultural ideals, customs and the power of women and beauty.
