“Art has to be a form of communication,” said David Breslin, curator in charge of the modern and contemporary art department. “It has to embed within itself a form of critique, but it is also a form of optimism for how we can relate to each other.”
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has selected three international artists for commissions, including the South Korean sculptor Lee Bul, who will transform the facade in September with futuristic statues.
