Major Sculpture by Renowned Artist Kehinde Wiley Coming to
New DOORWAYS Campus; A Long-Term Loan from the Gateway
Foundation
DOORWAYS is thrilled to announce that a major sculptural
commission by Kehinde Wiley, one of the nation's leading
artists, will be permanently sited on our new Campus. The
impressive work, titled Rumors of War, will make our new
campus on the North Side of St. Louis a landmark in public
art and social consciousness.
The work is a generous long-term loan to DOORWAYS from the
St. Louis-based Gateway Foundation.
Wiley has been well recognized for his large-scale portrait
paintings, which feature African American men and women
wearing contemporary dress in poses based on well-known
images of historical Western artworks - most often royals
and generals. He garnered even more renown for painting the
official Presidential portrait of President Barack Obama,
which now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in
Washington, D.C.
