2025 Rooftop Commision
Jennie C. Jones has won The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s rooftop commision and created a new installation for the Museum’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. On view through October 19, 2025, The Roof Garden Commission: Jennie C. Jones, Ensemble will explore the sonic potential of stringed instruments as well as their formal possibilities.
“We are thrilled that Jennie C. Jones will bring her unique artistic vision to The Met’s iconic roof garden,” said Max Hollein, the Museum’s Director and Chief Executive Officer. “Elevated high above the sounds and rhythms of New York City, her innovative installation will seamlessly combine form, color, line, and acoustics, challenging visitors to engage with sculpture in new and unexpected ways.”
The installation stands as the final Roof Garden Commission before the space temporarily closes in preparation for the construction of The Met’s new home for its collection of modern and contemporary art. The series will resume following the anticipated 2030 reopening of the renovated wing, which will feature the expanded Cantor Roof Garden. See you in 2030!
