“Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj (born 1986, Kostërc, former Yugoslavia) has been commissioned to create a site-specific installation for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. For the artist’s first major project in the United States, Halilaj has transformed The Met Roof with a sprawling sculptural installation. ”

— The Met

The new rooftop exhibit at The Met has arrived and I keep going back and forth on whether I love it. I’m a big fan of how much space it takes up (why bother doing an outdoor, sculpture exhibit if it isn’t overbearing in some way?), but I just wish there were more pieces. It’s definitely better than some of the past rooftop commissions (ahem, I’m looking at you, 2013 exhibit), so if you find yourself at The Met then definitely stop by and see for yourself.

The exhibit runs at The Met Fifth Avenue until October 27th, 2024.
