Worcester, MA—August 6, 2024—The Worcester Art Museum (WAM) announced today the relaunch of its long-standing “Wall at WAM” commissioned art initiative, featuring a new, large-format installation by Massachusetts artist Crystalle Lacouture. Known for her abstract, contemplative, and vibrant works, Lacouture draws inspiration from sacred geometries and art history, including spiritual abstraction and devotional paintings, influences found in and around the Museum’s Renaissance Court where the work will be installed. This new commission also marks the 26th anniversary of the Wall at WAM initiative and will be on view through 2025.
“Crystalle Lacouture’s work has an almost mystical quality to it that will bring a fresh and serene energy into the heart of the Museum. She is the perfect artist to usher in a return to the regular rotation schedule intended for the Wall at WAM,” said Samantha Cataldo, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Worcester Art Museum. “We have had such a terrific public response to Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison’s These Days of Maiuma, which opened on the Wall in 2013, and we are now looking forward to commissioning new artists to share their work with our audiences.”
