NEW YORK, NY.- The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Genesis announced today a five-year partnership to sponsor the annual contemporary art commission series for the Museum's Fifth Avenue facade niches. Each year, The Met invites an artist to create new works of art, establishing a dialogue between the artist's practice, The Met collection, the physical Museum, and The Met's audiences. The series will now be called the Genesis Facade Commission, and this year it will feature new works by Lee Bul (September 12, 2024–May 27, 2025).

"The Met's Fifth Avenue facade is a powerfully prominent and accessible platform for the display of art that now regularly features new sculptures by the most innovative artists working today," said Max Hollein, The Met's Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer. "We are grateful to Genesis for their incredible generosity and support, which ensures the opportunity for visitors and passersby alike to be surprised, delighted, and inspired by dynamic commissions for years to come."

"As a long-time supporter of the arts, we are thrilled to embark on a new journey of Genesis Art Initiatives with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of the world's most highly respected arts institutions," said Euisun Chung, Executive Chair, Hyundai Motor Group. "With our aspiration and ambition for this impactful partnership, we hope to become part of The Met's inspiring community and to amplify the voices of renowned cultural visionaries."

The Museum's Beaux-Arts Fifth Avenue facade was designed by the architect and founding Museum Trustee Richard Morris Hunt and opened to the public in December 1902. Since 2019, the facade has featured work by contemporary artists Wangechi Mutu (2019), Carol Bove (2021), Hew Locke (2022), and, most recently, Nairy Baghramian (2023). The Genesis Facade Commission: Lee Bul, Long Tail Halo will be the fifth in the series, and the 2025 Genesis Facade Commission will feature new works by Jeffrey Gibson.
