Tschabalala Self's sculptural relief "Art Lovers" (2025) will be installed on the façade of the New Museum in New York when it reopens this autumn with a new 60,000 sq. ft expansion designed by OMA. The 13ft-tall artwork depicts a Black couple kissing in a swirling embrace, inspired by Self's 2022 painting "Madly" and the architectural "kiss point" where the new building meets the original Sanaa-designed structure. The commission continues the museum's façade sculpture programme, which previously featured works by Chris Burden, Isa Genzken, and Glenn Ligon.
