Genesis will sponsor an annual art display at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art under a new five-year partnership.
The Met’s Facade Commission, newly named the Genesis Facade Commission, is the museum’s annual series of contemporary art installations at its Fifth Avenue facade niches.
Previous participants include Wangechi Mutu, Hew Locke and Nairy Baghramian.
Korean artist Lee Bul will create four new sculptures for the upcoming year, which will be on view from Sept. 12 to May 27, 2025.
