The Metropolitan Museum of Art has selected Guyanese-British artist Hew Locke to create new works for the Fifth Avenue facade niches, the third in a new series of site-specific commissions for the museum’s exterior.

The ‘Gilt’ project can be seen from September 16 of this year to May 22, 2023.

Locke is known for collecting ready-made materials from a variety of places and time periods — such as coats of arms and warships — pertaining to things like power, migration, and conquest.

Born in Edinburgh in 1959 and raised in Guyana, Locke returned to the UK in 1980, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Falmouth University in 1988 and a master’s degree in sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 1994. London.
