"The site-specific sculpture is titled Art Lovers, a work by Harlem-born artist Tschabalala Self, and marks the architectural kiss point between the New Museum's original building and a new expansion."
"Designed by Rem Koolhaas, the OMA founder, and partner Shohei Shigematsu, the $82m project affixes a jagged, glassy jewel to the original building, effectively doubling the footprint to 119,700 sq ft."
"The seven story addition introduces three levels of gallery space that plug directly into existing floors, creating much needed airflow and allowing the museum to remain open during exhibition turnover."
The New Museum in Manhattan has debuted its expansion, featuring a sculpture titled 'Art Lovers' by Tschabalala Self. The expansion, designed by Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu, cost $82 million and doubles the museum's footprint. The new structure introduces three levels of gallery space and a public spine with an atrium staircase. This design enhances airflow and allows for continuous operation during exhibitions. Upcoming installations include a sculpture by Sarah Lucas in the outdoor plaza and a textile by Klara Hosnedlova in the atrium.
