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.
—excerpt from “I Will Greet the Sun Again” by Forugh Farrokhzad
Welcome the newest acquisition to the Modern's sculpture collection, The Seated III, 2019, by Wangechi Mutu. Mutu's work explores themes of femininity across history and civilizations and in many different media. 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.

Discover the subtle beauty of an intellectual exercise drawn directly on the gallery wall. Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #50A, 1970, was conceived to live independent of its expression. For LeWitt, the idea was most important. The work questions your ideas about art. Discover your own answers. Led by a Modern docent.
