New outdoor art at TMA
A pair of outdoor sculptures have been acquired by the Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) for installation in the Museum’s Georgia and David K. Welles Sculpture Garden. “The Seated II,” a bronze piece by Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu, was originally commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. “Moon Mirror,” by New York artist Josiah McElheny, is a crescent-shaped piece of colored glass that stands eight-and-a-half feet wide and 16 feet tall. Both pieces are scheduled to be installed at TMA at some point in the next year, though an exact date has yet to be determined. toledomuseum.org
