I am sending-
my warmest greetings to the sun,
and to the tender rivers that streamed in my veins,
and the raining clouds that forever carried- my endless dreams-
to the other side.

Welcome the newest acquisition to the Modern's sculpture collection, The Seated III, 2019, by Wangechi Mutu.

This large bronze figure, enveloped in a coiled garment, refers to cultural conflict and the ties between art and architecture. Join us to discover what she evokes in you. Led by a Modern docent.
