Clara Wu Tsai, co-owner of the Brooklyn Nets, Barclays Center, and the New York Liberty, has commissioned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier to create her first public artwork, "The Liberty Portraits: A Monument to the 2024 Champions" (2024-2025). The project features nine-foot-tall portraits of each player on the Liberty’s 2024 championship-winning roster, with one side showing the player in uniform and the reverse depicting them with their chosen family. Wu Tsai, a noted collector, has also worked with artists Sarah Sze and Rashid Johnson to develop ambitious art for the Brooklyn stadium, and her Social Justice Fund has supported public art installations like Tavares Strachan's neon piece "We Belong Here."
