RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A monumental bronze sculpture of a young black man astride a galloping horse is being permanently installed in Virginia’s capital city, not far from the Confederate monument it mimics.
An unveiling ceremony for Kehinde Wiley's “Rumors of War” will be held Tuesday afternoon at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. The piece was previously on display in Times Square.
The 29-foot-high work was inspired by Wiley's visit to Richmond, where he encountered another massive equestrian monument honoring Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart.
