The Roof Garden Commission

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is one of the best-known cultural institutions in the world with a huge collection of artefacts that span the entire history of our civilisation. 

The Roof Garden has been hosting single-artist exhibitions since 1998, and since the early 2000s has become home to some astonishing commissions.

Each commission has been accompanied by a publication in a compact and beautifully designed format.
