Sarah LucasVENUS VICTORIA
From May 12, 2026 Bowery
A new outdoor sculpture by Sarah Lucas for the museum’s Bowery plaza, a tribute to women taking their place in public life.
VENUS VICTORIA is the first commission for the museum’s new public plaza at Bowery and Prince Street, part of the OMA-designed expansion. Lucas was chosen by a jury of fellow artists and is the first of five recipients over ten years.
The sculpture stays on view for two years. It follows her 2018 New Museum solo show Au Naturel, and continues her use of everyday objects and the body as subject.
