In New York City, Wangechi Mutu inaugurates The Met’s new Façade Commission series on September 9 with the debut of the first-ever sculptural intervention on the museum’s historic edifice, a project that has been in the making at the museum for 117 years. Mutu’s sculptures, four over-lifesize seated women, are strategically placed in niches across the building’s front. Collectively titled The NewOnes, will free Us, these bronze goddesses shine with power and majesty. Inspired by the customs of high- ranking African women, each figure is wrapped in coils reminiscent of traditional African necklaces, and three of the four display large sun disks that evoke ritual piercings. These disks also reflect the power of the figures, who blaze with reflected sunlight, and recall the ancient Egyptian sun-worshipping traditions of heretic pharaoh Akhenaten. These “sentinel figures,” says Sheena Wagstaff, Leonard A. Lauder Chairman for Modern and Contemporary Art, at the sculptures’ debut, “speak of justice and open-mindedness; [they are] gatekeepers looking to the past and the future.” metmuseum.org

On the West Coast, San Francisco’s Berggruen Gallery will open a historic Helen Frankenthaler show on September 26, drawing on its long relationship with the celebrated Color Field painter to assemble some of her most beloved and rarely seen works in its Jennifer Weiss–renovated gallery space. Weiss’s clean lines, transparent sculptural staircase, and clever use of natural light allow the paintings to shine, revealing the depth of their turpentine-thinned and poured layers of color. Moveable Blue, a panoramic painting from 1973, commands attention against the expansive white walls and natural wood floors of Weiss’s renovation. “The transformation of the 10 Hawthorne Street building stands as an architectural symbol of the interconnection of our history as a gallery and our movement forward into a fresh and relevant era," says John Berggruen. "It is not only a fresh and welcoming space but it also offers an uncomplicated and serene environment in which to view artworks and engage with friends, staff, and the larger community.” berggruen.com
